Extended features of GPSS/H

ABSTRACT

This tutorial describes many of GPSS/H's powerful additions to, and extensions of, traditional GPSS, and shows how modelers can take advantage of them to build simulations that are more sophisticated in their gathering of statistics, more modeler- and user-friendly, and significantly easier to build, modify, and debug.
