Abstract

A design and implementation are presented for a graphical user interface to a batch queueing simulator, illustrating the benefits of using a high-level script language. Rapid development was made possible with the use of Tcl/Tk scripts to implement the entire interface. The script implements a dynamic display of job and queue movement along with graphs of statistical behaviors. A message system is used to control the interaction between the human interface and the batch simulator.
