Abstract

Currently, mini- and microcomputers are finding application in many areas of business and scientific work. However, the use of small computers for simulation studies is virtually nonexistent. In this paper, we discuss the language requirements for discrete event simulation and present the features of the Pascal language that make it a natural language to use for writing simulation programs. Finally, we discuss our experiences in developing several nontrivial simulations using Pascal.
