Abstract
Discrete event simulation is now a widely used tool to aid the decision maker faced with the need to investigate the effect of changes on dynamic real-time systems. It is used in those situations which are not susceptible to analytic solutions and where the only alternative to trying out the changes on the live system is to build a model and try the changes on the model. This paper is concerned with the evaluation of three languages which have been developed to enable the model builder to represent a discrete event system on a computer and hence simulate a system. These languages are GPSS, ECSL and SIMULA 67. See refs. 1,2,3.Keywords
