Due to the increasing popularity of simula tion, there are numerous simulation software tools available on the market. This paper pre sents the results of a survey on users' re quirements of discrete-event simulation software. The survey involved members of the Simulation Study Group of the Operational Research Society of Great Britain. Findings of the survey indicate which types of simula tion software are primarily being used, the most common application areas of simulation, and users' opinions about software and pos sible ways of improving simulation software.
