Simulation language

A computer simulation language describes the operation of a simulation on a computer. There are two major types of simulation: continuous and discrete event though more modern languages can handle more complex combinations most languages also have a graphical interface and at least a simple statistic gathering capability for the analysis of the results. An important part of discrete-event languages is the ability to generate pseudo-random numbers and variants from different probability distributions. Examples are:

• Discrete event simulation languages, viewing the model as a sequence of random events each causing a change in state.
  • AutoMod - Simulating reality
  • Arena
  • ExtendSim - Simulation software for discrete event, continuous, discrete rate and agent-based simulation**GPSS
  • Simio software for discrete event, continuous, and agent-based simulation.
  • SimPy, an open-source package based on Python
  • SIMSCRIPT II.5, a well established commercial compiler
  • Simula
