[comp.lang.smalltalk] Simulation modeling

korsberg@abaa.uucp (Ed Korsberg) (08/21/90)

I am interested in performing a simulation of a communication module
and may use Smalltalk.  I need the ability to model multiple processes
as opposed to a discrete event simulation.

What is the consensus of the Smalltalk and/or simulation groups of the 
suitablility of Smalltalk for USEFUL simulation analysis?

Assuming Smalltalk is the correct platform, does Smalltalk-80 (ParcPlace)
provide any additional features over Smalltalk V/286 (Digitalk) relative 
to simulation modeling?  I am assuming Smalltalk-80 is "better" than 
Smalltalk V/286 but it also costs more.
