    An object-oriented simulation model for airport traffic control
    (1995) Yıldırım, İnanç
    In recent years airport congestion and delay problems have received a great deal of attention due to the rapid growth of air transportation services. Of all the elements contributing to the air terminal congestion, the Air Traffic Control problem is the best understood. In this thesis we present an object-oriented model for simulating air traffic flow at an airport. The application of objectoriented design to the simulation model construction process is identified as a need, particularly for modeling large and complex systems. Object-oriented paradigm has already demonstrated that it can help to manage the growing complexity and increasing costs of the software development. The model we present here, has been implemented on a personal computer by illustrating a major metropolitan airport.

    SIMLIB : a class library for object-oriented simulation
    (1993) Işıklı, Oğuz
    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.
