Do you know where I might find this public domain software? Im getting ready to work on my thesis and I am trying to evaluate what type of language I will be doing my work in. Any help you can render would be appreciated. The reference I am refering to was in Volume17, Issue: 10. Thankyou very Much, Kevin A.

Date: 28 Sep 90 06:47:29 GMT Sender: legg@ucs.adelaide.edu.au Organization: Information Technology Division, The University of Adelaide, AUSTRALIA Hello World, As part of my honours year, I am writing a (fairly) simple network queueing program for the Macintosh. It allows one to create a system of generators, servers, branches and the like, connect and configure them, and watch it while it runs. It's probably most useful as a tool for teaching and displaying the basics of network simulations without getting bogged down in a simulation language (not that I've anything against simulation languages, they're just not point-and-click). I would like to know if anyone out there knows of a similar package for the Mac or PC. I have been unable to find any so far, and it would be nice to be able to compare my program against any others. cheers Christian Legg Christian Legg ********************************** University Computing Services, * This message has been brought * University of Adelaide, South Australia. * to you today by the letters * Phone : (08) 228 5549 * B, M and by the number 9 * Email : legg@ucs.adelaide.edu.au ********************************** ------------------------------ Return-Path: Posted-Date: 28 Sep 90 17:34:18 GMT To: comp-simulation@linus.mitre.org Path: linus!tympani!shaula From: shaula@tympani.mitre.org (Shaula Doyle) Newsgroups: comp.realtime,comp.simulation,comp.sources.wanted Subject: Searching for Airport ground/surface simulations Date: 28 Sep 90 17:34:18 GMT Sender: usenet@linus.mitre.org Reply-To: shaula@maestro.mitre.org (Shaula Doyle) Followup-To: comp.realtime Organization: The MITRE Corporation, McLean, VA I am looking for Airport surface simulations, for possible horizontal integration into a full NAS simulation. I have already looked into ADSIM, SIMMOD and ASTMS. I would like more information on TAAM and The Airport machine. If you know of any other airport ground simulations, I would really like to hear from you. My preferred characteristics include: 1. real time simulation 2. source code available ( or owned by the FAA) 3. graphical 4. covers all aspects of ground operations, from pushback to takeoff/ arrival to gate. I realize that none of the simulations I mentioned really meet my needs, and I am interested in hearing about all ground simulations. - if you would like a brief summary of what the available simulations in this area are, and what they do, feel free to send me mail, and I'll send you a copy when I am done.

Current and future decision making tools will rely heavily on the ability to reason with sophisticated models that are designed, planned and simulated in real time. This year's conference will be held at the beginning of the Florida AI Research Conference (FLAIRS) at the same location. There is a strong need to integrate the qualitative system structures often found in expert systems, reasoning systems, logic and social science with the quantitative knowledge found in physical science and engineering. Qualitative structures help define high-level (i.e. decision making) control knowledge while quantitative structures define unambiguous operations for well known physical and engineering systems. The interplay between qualitative and quantitative modeling is critical in the area of computer simulation modeling where a variety of models are created to solve different problems and provide different levels of response. Future simulation models will require this multi-facetted approach involving model knowledge bases containing different levels of system abstraction. This conference will serve to bring together researchers interested in using simulation models that have well-integrated qualitative and quantitative components. Scope/Sample Topics ------------------- Papers can be either conceptual or application-oriented. Some sample topics are listed below: * Formalisms for Unification of Qualitative/Quantitative Simulation Models. * Simulating Engineering Designs using Multiple Levels and Models. * Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Reasoning about Systems. * Abstraction in Combined Planning, Simulation and Diagnostic Systems. * Simulation Model Engineering: From Qualitative to Quantitative Models. * Multiple Abstraction Levels and Mappings for System Descriptions. * Software Tools for Qualitative/Quantitative Simulation. * Process Abstraction Networks and Hierarchies. * Representing Uncertainty in Simulation Models. * Decision Making Tools for Integrated Simulation Modeling.
