SIMSCRIPT II.5 and MODSIM II: A brief introduction

The SIMSCRIPT II.5 and MODSIM II programming languages are described. SIMSCRIPT II.5 with its integrated graphical interface, SIMGRAPHICS, substantially reduces time and effort in simulation model development. Its English-like syntax improves readability of the code and substantially reduces the need for documentation. MODSIM II is a modern object-oriented language with built-in support for simulation that also has an integrated graphical interface. It is a compiled language which is available for most systems, including mainframes, workstations, and PCs. The built-in object-oriented constructs of MODSIM II include single and multiple inheritance, dynamic binding of objects, polymorphism, data abstraction and information hiding
