At Delft University of Technology, Department of Information Systems, we
are currently working on the construction of a 'toolbox for simulation'.
This is not supposed to be Just Another Simulation Language, but is an
environment for dynamic modelling of e.g. information systems. Anyone
interested in the particularities of this research can contact me for
getting some papers on the research.

However, we are evaluating the feasability of different  programming
languages for building such an environment. At the moment we are working
with Turbo Pascal, with EIFFEL, with BETA and with the simulation
language SIMAN. Other candidates would be C++ and SMALLTALK-80.

We are interested in receiving any experience on similar projects, with
emphasis on the feasability of the different languages for creating
simulation/modelling environments. Furthermore we are very much
interested in the existence of simulation classes in any of the above
mentioned programming languages.
