Simulation and modeling - Old Questions

GPSS (General Purpose Simulation System) is a highly structured and special purpose simulation language based on process interaction approach and oriented toward queuing systems.
- The system being simulated is described by the block diagram using various GPSS blocks.
- Each block represents events, delays or other actions that affect the transaction flow.
- GPSS model is developed by converting the block diagram into block statements and adding the control statements.

The general blocks used in GPSS block diagram is shown in figure below:
