Simulation modeling in an object-oriented environment using Smalltalk-80

Abstract
Object-oriented environment of Smalltalk-80 is investigated as a potential tool for simulation modeling. Basic features of the Smalltalk-80 language are described including messages, objects, classes, and inheritance. A simulation control framework for Smalltalk-80 is explained using a simple example. Smalltalk-80 language appears to have a number of features that makes it unique when compared to traditional simulation languages. A comparison of Smalltalk-80 with the traditional simulation software concludes the paper.
