Abstract

Ada packages to support event and process oriented simulation have been developed at Texas A&M University. These packages include standard Facilities such as queue handling, random number generation, automatic statistics collection and simulation control. This paper provides an overview of the system facilities followed by an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of Ada as an implementation language for simulation software. Based on our experience Ada has appeal as a general purpose language which can be integrated into larger systems. It is portable among various computer architectures, it provides a rich base of constructs in which to implement models, and offers promise in terms of execution on parallel architectures.
