Block-Oriented Systems Simulator (BOSS)

Abstract
The Block-Oriented Systems Simulator (BOSS) may be viewed as an operating system that provides a complete interactive environment for simulation-based analysis and design of communication systems. The integrated environment includes the capability to design models, subsystems and systems in a hierarchical fashion using block diagrams, configure and execute a simulation, review the results of the simulation, and perform design iterations. Each of these capabilities is controlled through a consistent user interface using interactive graphics. Recent advances in software engineering, workstation technology, CAD/CAM techniques and expert systems are incorporated in BOSS to provide an intelligent, user friendly and flexible state-of-the-art simulation environment.
