Design of object-oriented simulations in C++

Shows how to design object-oriented simulation models using C++. A set of object classes have been written in C++ which can be used to create simulation models and simulation packages. The simulations built with these tools possess the benefits of an object-oriented design, including the use of classes, inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, run-time binding and parameterized typing. These concepts are illustrated by creating a network queuing simulation language which has several notable features not available in other similar languages. Object-oriented simulations provide full accessibility to the base language, faster executions, portable models and executables, a multivendor implementation language, and a growing variety of complementary development tools.
