I recently sent the following request to this groups:

	I am interested in writing a simulation program using c++ .
	Does anybody know of any public available class hierarchy designed for
	simulations?

Here are the replies I received.
Thank you to all that replied to my request,

	--luis

There are two things I know about that you might find worth a look.
The first is called "silo", a smallish set of c++ classes for
discrete event simulation (in comp.sources.misc volume14), 

[available from ftp site wuarchive.wustl.edu in the directory 
/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume14/silo , --luis ]

the other is called "awesime", and is oriented towards multi-threaded operation
under unix; it has classes for generating random numbers and various
probability distributions. This you can ftp from foobar.colorado.edu.
(The random number stuff from the awesime package is also in libg++).

You'd better take a look at NIH class library.  You can get it
by anonymous ftp from alw.nih.gov(128.231.128.251) in file
pub/nihcl-3.0.tar.Z.  You can also find application programs in
the book "Data Abstraction and Object-oriented Programming in C++"
by Keith E. Gorlen (John Wiley & Sons).

You could use CSIM/CSIM++ from Herb Schwetman at MCC. 

[I was not able to find an archive site with this library. My guess is that
it is proprietary, --luis]
