Abstract
This is the third paper in a series dealing with discrete
event simulation modelling. The first part [BIRT 81b] looked at
Simula. The second part [BIRT 81c] looked at the process style of
discrete event modelling, and used a simple model of steel mill
operations as an example. In this part we rework the mill model in
the transaction, activity, and event styles, coding it in
the archetypal language of each style (GPSS, ECSL, and SIMSCRIPT
respectively). In each case, we display an appropriate Simula
mini-context. This enables us to show the strengths and weaknesses
of these styles from a programmer's point of view, and the threads
that hold them together.
