Abstract

This write-up provides summary information about the simulation modeling language GPSS. The class of problems to which GPSS applies especially well is described; commentary on the semantics and syntax of the language is offered, and an example is provided; the learning-oriented literature for GPSS is summarized; sources comparing GPSS and other simulation languages are cited; various GPSS implementations are commented on; vendor information is supplied; the time-sharing networks offering GPSS are cited; and professional courses on the language are listed.The GPSS tutorial itself will explore fundamental details of GPSS and present examples of fundamental GPSS models. Copies of the transparencies used for the tutorial will be distributed to those in attendance.
