Perspectives on simulation using GPSS

GPSS (General Purpose Simulation System), a simulation modeling language used to build computer models for discrete-event simulations, is overviewed. The approach taken in GPSS to model a one-line, one-server system is explained, implementation details are provided, and results are discussed. References and suggestions for further study are given.
