Abstract

The micro PASSIM package is designed to support combined simulation modeling in Pascal, including the coordinated sequencing of discrete events and the integration of continuous variables. The package features dynamic interaction through user and system menus, resource and queue management, random number streams and generation of statistical distributions, the collection of statistics, report generation, tracing of transactions, dynamic model interaction and character graphics display of model evolution. Event scheduling and process interaction world views are supported. The modeler writes the model in Pascal using the procedures from the simulation library for support. The model and support procedures are compiled together to provide a stand-alone simulation program. Version mP 3.1 using Turbo Pascal supports high resolution graphics. Complete source code is provided for either Turbo or Vax Pascal. Version mp 3.1 M2 in Modula-2 is now available.
