In this thesis an introduction to simulation and object oriented programming discusses the need for
the creation of several classes which directly support object oriented simulation. The author places no
restrictions on the type of simulations that can be conducted and simulation practitioners will find that the
classes provided lay the groundwork for a robust object oriented simulation language.
In order to appreciate the development of the simulation classes, three examples from the literature
demonstrate their use in continuous deterministic and discrete stochastic simulations.
In addition to the creation of several basic simulation constructs, two advanced simulation tools were
developed. Inter-object communication and intelligent simulation capabilities will increase the power and
flexibility available to simulation modeler's. Programmers, scientists, and engineers will appreciate the
object oriented simulation engine and generic simulation objects that were created. / Graduation date: 1993
