Abstract

FreeSML is a Java-based simulation language, providing support for process-oriented and event-oriented simulation, along with limited support for continuous-variable simulation. The core simulation engine is indirectly derived from that of Silk 1.3, and the language's public interface is based heavily on those of Silk and SSJ. Unlike earlier languages, FreeSML was developed with the specific intent that it be released as an open-source package, and has been released under the Free Software Foundation's Lesser General Public License.
