Abstract

&Sgr; (pronounced SIGMA denoting Simulation Graphical Modeling and Analysis) is an interactive graphics approach to building, testing, and experimenting with discrete event simulation models on personal computers. &Sgr; is written in C but is self-contained and does not need a compiler or special graphics software. &Sgr; is an extension of the simulation teaching system report in [2].The version of &Sgr; described here requires an IBM PC compatible computer (AT preferred) with at least 420K of free memory, a floppy disk drive, an EGA or equivalent monitor with the corresponding graphics card, and a mouse.
