Version 1.1 (March 2004)
javaSimulation is a Java package for process-based discrete event simulation. Its simulation facilities are based on those provided by the programming language SIMULA.
Along with the package comes documentation and examples, a separate package for coroutine sequencing and three Java packages for event- and activity-based simulation in Java.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION:
The software is available in two formats:
JAVASIMULATION-1.1.tgz (gzipped tar file, approximately 650 KB)
JAVASIMULATION-1.1.sitx (Stuffit archive, approximately 700 KB )
If a UNIX machine is used, download the software in the first format. Next execute the following UNIX commands:
gzip -d JAVASIMULATION-1.1.tgz
tar xvf JAVASIMULATION-1.1.tar
If a MacOS or a Windows machine is used, download the software in the second format. Next unstuff it with StuffIt Expander™ (freeware available at http://www.aladdinsys.com).
The author reserves all rights to the code.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.1:
Improved support for multiple simulations (instead of creating one simulation at a time, it is possible to generate a number of consecutive simulations, varying a particular parameter over a range of values). When a simulation ends, all processes terminate automatically and release their threads.
