Teaching simulation with Pascal_SIM

Pascal SIM is a collection of Pascal constants, types, variables, functions and procedures for developing event, activity, three-phase or process orientated discrete-event simulation models. Facilities are provided for queue processing, time advance and ...

PsimJ is a Java-based discrete-event simulation package that supports the process interaction approach to simulation. This paper presents insights of how this simulation tool can help improve the teaching of object-oriented simulation. The simulation ...

Object-orientation is the prevalent paradigm in programming. Despite this, programming students are usually taught procedural programming first in their first course. Even languages that are object-oriented, such as Java, are taught by first introducing ...
