Abstract
Simulation is one of the most widely used techniques in decision making. Mathematical
modeling of a real world system is a major task of the simulation
analyst. The selection of a computer language for implementing the model is
also important. Recent research in this area has focused on the compatibility
between simulation implementations and the object-oriented paradigm. It is
the purpose of this thesis to explore the use of an object-oriented approach
for the implementation of discrete event simulation applications. We present
a class library which provides the skeletal elements of a simulation. The advantages
and the disadvantages of the approach are discussed with the help of
three prototype implementations: the single-queue/single-server system, the
production-line system, and the elevator system.
