Simulation – Perspectives on Simulation using GPSS
•GPSS – General Purpose Simulation System – a popular simulation modeling language •Offers a rich set of semantics and yet it is sparse in syntax
•GPSS is a multi-vendor language
•Some versions provide built-in graphic and animation features
•Some languages have GPSS embedded

GPS greatly eases the task of building computer models for certain types of discrete-event simulations. It lends itself particularly to modeling systems in which discrete units of traffic compete for scarce resources. GPSS has been applied to the modeling of manufacturing systems, communication systems, computer systems, transportation systems, health care systems. It has also been used in chemical engineering, mining engineering, and cancer research.

Only seven statements are required to model a one-line, one-server queuing system in GPSS. Beginners can learn quickly how to use it.

Can be used on a variety of systems: MicroVAX I, MicroVAX 2, MicroVAX 3, Apollo, Optimum 5/10, Optimum V, IRIS, IRIS Turbo, Sun 3, IBM PC etc.

GPSS-FORTRAN, APL-GPSS PL/1 GPSS – all these languages have GPSS embedded.
