Abstract

A more extensive but more dated introduction to GPSS, providing further reference for use of this simulation system than is provided in the Solomon book reviewed above. The book's date means a version of GPSS that has fewer features is discussed. Nonetheless, the current version still supports the bulk of procedures discussed by Gordon.
