TLDR
Two dissimilar examples are provided to illustrate various aspects of simulation in the systems engineering process and a new philosophy of multiprocessing is presented.Abstract:
The author assumes that the reader is familiar with the content of the preceding paper, "A General Purpose Systems Simulator," by G. Gordon. Two dissimilar examples are provided to illustrate various aspects of simulation in the systems engineering process. One example involves the study of an IBM 7040--IBM 7090 computer complex for scientific applications. The other concerns an IBM 1410 Tele-processing system for a stock brokerage house.
In addition to illustrating the paper, both examples are of intrinsic interest. The first presents a new philosophy of multiprocessing. The second examines a method of integrating communication facilities with an information processor.read more

Computer simulation—discussion of the technique and comparison of languages
TL;DR: The conclusion of the paper is that the packages now available for computer simulation offer features which none of the more general-purpose packages do and that analysis of strengths and weaknesses of each suggests ways in which both current and future simulation languages and packages can be improved.

The development of the General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS)
TL;DR: The General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) is a programming system designed for the simulation of discrete systems that can be modeled as a series of state changes that occur instantaneously, usually over a period of time.

Generalized multiprocessing and multiprogramming systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the following definitions have been followed: Multiprogramming, the time-sharing of a processor by many programs operating sequentially, and scheduling, the determination of the sequence in which job programs will use the available facilities.
Toward the Body of Knowledge of Modeling and Simulation
TL;DR: To properly establish the scope of M&SBOK, some definitions of simulation are revised and a paradigm shift is pointed out to conceive simulation studies as “Simulation Systems Engineering” especially for the simulation of large and complex systems.

A simulation model for data system analysis
TL;DR: The thesis that data system designers can bring their profession closer to a predictive science is developed, by adapting for data system analysis purpose analytical tools which make possible prediction and quantification of data system behavior within the management system structure.
