This paper is designed to illustrate the British Approach to Simulation and how it would be used in conjunction with the CAPS/ECSL package. There are several features of this approach which are significantly different to the usual American approach, most notable of which is the use of the “Activity Structure” rather than the Event or Process Bases. It was from this structure that many of the recent discrete simulation developments originated, for example program generators and visual interactive modelling. The approach of the paper is to describe the steps which a typical user would follow in developing a model to solve a problem using simulation. The CAPS/ECSL system is designed to assist as many stages of this process as possible, claiming to be more complete than competing systems. It is hoped that two new developments will be described in the verbal presentation.
