Discrete event simulation with Demos
WSC '82: Proceedings of the 14th conference on Winter Simulation - Volume 2Demos is a portable, strongly typed, extensible, process oriented, discrete event simulation language embedded in Simula. It extends Simula with a library of standard process synchronisation devices together with facilities for data collection, random ...
A survey of discrete event simulation and state-of-the-art discrete event languages
This paper provides an introduction to the main concepts of discrete event simulation and surveys the field of current discrete event simulation languages. Discrete event simulation is a modeling technique for the study of systems whose state may change ...

This book is a teaching text for a software package called DEMOS (discrete event modelling on Simula) written by Birtwhistle to extend the Simula programming language. The package provides a collection of Simula CONTEXT statements to expedite model development and shelter the user from the details of Simula. The book is appropriate for use in an undergraduate introductory course in simulation using DEMOS. Knowledge of ALGOL 60 should be a prerequisite. The book provides a tutorial introduction to DEMOS but does not provide in-depth information on either Simula or the basics of simulation. Simplistic exercises and summaries of solutions are included. The book is written in an informal and conversational style. Each construct is first motivated and then demonstrated in several examples. A natural English language is used in some programs so not all of the programs are executable. The text is dense and the figures are crude. DEMOS: A System for Discrete Event Modelling on Simula is an adequate introduction to this package. Note however that the style and layout are quite simple and that the book is neither a DEMOS reference manual nor an introduction to the general principles of simulation.
