TL;DR: A number of issues were raised that mean the benefits of reuse of simulation models may not be obtainable, including the motivation to develop reusable models, the validity and credibility of models to be reused, and the cost and time for familiarisation.

TL;DR: No area within the scope of operations research and the management sciences has been affected more by advances in computing technology than simulation, and this assertion is affirmed in the review of progress in those technical areas that collectively define the art and science of simulation.

TL;DR: The history of simulation programming languages is organized as a progression in periods of similar developments, with a focus on recognizing the people and places that have made important contributions in addition to the nature of the contribution.

TL;DR: This paper focuses on the coordination of the time and state concepts using "object" as the link and relates the concept of "state-sequenced simulation" to the variations in time flow mechanisms.

TL;DR: Effective development environments for discrete event simulation models should reduce development costs and improve model performance by interposing an intermediate form between a conceptual model and an executable representation of that model.
