a)A simulation model can be built using a specialized simulation language, a specialized application, graphical “point-and-shoot” package, high level language with function or class library, or just using a high level languages. Give examples and discuss the trade-offs of each of these methods.
b)What is SMPL and what does it contain?
c)The SMPL view of systems consists of three constructs. Describe the three constructs of SMPL (facility is one, the other two you must know) and the general SMPL “view of the world”.
d)Describe pre-emption in SMPL. That is, what does the preempt() function do?
e)What is CSIM? Describe what it supports. Give its history. Explain what the CSIM create() function does. Explain how time passes, or increments, in a CSIM simulation.
