CSIM18---the simulation engine

Abstract

A simulation engine is the collection of components, features and support functions which are crucial to the implementation of an efficient discrete event simulation model. Furthermore, this model can be embedded in a larger application. A good simulation engine combines efficiency, functionality and completeness to enable a model builder to construct a comprehensive, customized model of either a specific system or a class of systems. This paper presents CSIM18, a simulation engine which supports development of applications with efficient, em bedded simulation models on a variety of system plat forms.
