Abstract
Simulation is a very robust and versatile system analysis technique. However, many common functionalities of the simulation methodology are not available in general-purpose computer languages. Model building is usually a tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone process. To alleviate these problems, special-purpose simulation languages have been developed to support system analysts. This paper presents a taxonomy of special-purpose simulation languages, with emphasis on their applications in designing and analyzing Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS).
