Abstract: | Simulation with Object Oriented Programming (SW-OOP) is a library of software modules (classes) designed to provide the software constructs necessary for programming general purpose discrete event computer simulations in Pascal. Systems modeling and simulation has been cited by those disciplined in operations research and management science as one of the skills most frequently applied to the study, understanding and improvement of systems in industry (Law 1991). This paper presents SW-OOP and discusses how it is used to facilitate systems modeling and simulation when computer software is developed to study a particular problem. |
