Subject: Modeling Tools
Product Announcement -- QPS Toolset
Software for queueing, Petri net, and series parallel graph modeling is
available from Loral Western Development Labs (formerly Ford Aerospace).
The QPS Toolset has three modules: (1) QUANTRUM, for analytic (mathematical)
modeling based on queueing paradigms; (2) PENGUIN, for both analytic modeling
and discrete event simulation based stochastic Petri nets; and (3) SPARTA,
for analytic modeling based on series-parallel graphs. The toolset is
integrated; for instance model output results from SPARTA or PENGUIN can
be used as inputs to a QUANTRUM model.
The QPS Toolset is programmed in C and should run on any system where Unix
is installed. A version which capitalizes in the windowing and graphics
capabilities of SUN workstations is also available. Porting to X-windows
is in process. The toolset has been created in an engineering applications
environment, and is readily accessible to users without extensive background
in the specific modeling techniques. However, modeling specialists,
researchers and educators should find QPS to be interesting and useful.
For further information on the QPS Toolset, please contact Ron Barack
(e-mail: rab@wdl1.wdl.fac.com; phone: 408-473-4132) or Austin Lemoine
(e-mail: ajl@wdl1.wdl.fac.com; phone: 408-473-4127).

Dear Tony,
One of the original SIMULA implementations was the IBM 360/370 one and it is
still available from
Simula as
Postboks 4403 - Torshov
0401 OSLO 4
Norway
They used to offer a really cheap deal for universities. It should be
available for MVS, CMS and even MTS. It won't have everything the DEC 10
system had (no LIBSIM, I think). Nor is it completely up to date with the 1986
language extensions, but it is a really sound implementation of Common Base
SIMULA. I will forward your request to them.

Hi netters,
has anyone heard of a Company called SuperCompact (maybe) located in
New Jersey????
This company might have a simulation tool in simulating lossy transmission
lines in the frequency and time domain.
I need the address or phone number or fax number.
Thanks

After posting 'Looking for HIT Users i received a mail request for more
information about HIT.
So here are some more explanations.
Abstract:
The Hierarchical Evaluation Tool Hit is a software tool for the performance
evaluation of computing systems during all phases of their life cycle.
The hierarchical model description language HI-SLANG allows to build deeply
structured models in a very modular way. Quantitative model evaluation can
be performed by simulative or analytical methods.
HIT has been developed at the chair of Prof. Dr. H. Beilner, Department
Informatik IV, Universitaet Dortmund. The project, HIT, was and still is
partially supported by Nixdorf Computer AG and BMFT (German Federal Ministery
of Resarch an Technology).
The Abstract is copied from the HI-SLANG Reference Manual.
It is a Crosscompiler producing Simula-Code. Therefore you need a Simula
Compiler to run HIT. The HI-SLANG Compiler is also a Simula Program.
For further information about HIT please contact the HIT-Team:
EUNET/USENET: hit@anton.ls4.informatik.uni-dortmund.de
I am still looking for HIT Users for discussion.

Hi all,
This is a request for information about the simulation product I believe
is known as NEST (network simulation testbed). My information is that it
comes out of Columbia Uni but thats about as much as I know.
Is there anyone out there that knows/has used NEST and can give me an
indication of what it does? Also can anyone tell me where I can get it
from easily ? - I know I can get it through Columbia direct but I was
hoping for something a bit closer to home.
Are there any archive sites in OZ that carry it?
All help is greatly appreciated - please reply direct
