Abstract

In the report the programming languages Oberon-2 is discussed from the point of view of convenience to program the discrete event simulation systems (DESS). Its predecessor Modula-2 was used as the basic language for a number of simulation packages and was proved to be good for it, but has Oberon-2 enough features to replace it and stand against domination of C++ in this special area? Are there compilers and programming environments good enough for this purpose? Is it possible to use existent libraries and transfer software between different platforms? These and other questions are discussed on the examples of ObSim-2 simulation package and XDS Modula-2&Oberon-2 programming system.
