Abstract

The author assumes that the reader is familiar with the content of the preceding paper, "A General Purpose Systems Simulator," by G. Gordon. Two dissimilar examples are provided to illustrate various aspects of simulation in the systems engineering process. One example involves the study of an IBM 7040--IBM 7090 computer complex for scientific applications. The other concerns an IBM 1410 Tele-processing system for a stock brokerage house. In addition to illustrating the paper, both examples are of intrinsic interest. The first presents a new philosophy of multiprocessing. The second examines a method of integrating communication facilities with an information processor.
