Introduces a broad range of general purpose programming languages and the most popular special-purpose simulation packages. Also, recent developments in the latest microcomputer simulations are integrated throughout the text. This second edition now provides coverage of SLAM, GEMS, Lotus 1-2-3, IFPS, and includes expanded treatment of GPSS and expert systems. There are also simulation programs in BASIC, Pascal, and FORTRAN.
