Abstract

PsimJ is a Java-based discrete-event simulation package that supports the process interaction approach to simulation. This paper presents insights of how this simulation tool can help improve the teaching of object-oriented simulation. The simulation tool can also be used to help to understand and visualize a concept or a system. It can also be used to reinforce learned concepts through the design and development of a simulation model. A comparison of MODSIM III and PsimJ is provided as an introduction to show that PsimJ has a comparative set of functionalities to MODSIM III, a once widely used commercial simulation package.
