Abstract

A broad overview of the simulation modeling language GPSS is given. The class of problems to which GPSS applies especially well is described, and commentary on the semantics and syntax of the language is offered. Various GPSS implementations are indicated, and vendor information is given. The GPSS learning-oriented literature is reviewed, and sources comparing GPSS and other simulation languages are cited. Professional GPSS courses are listed. A GPSS model and its output are presented and discussed in an appendix.The GPSS tutorial at the 1988 Winter Simulation Conference will show how one goes about building GPSS models. Paper copies of the tutorial transparencies will be given out at the tutorial.
