Abstract
The author is revising and restructuring an existing simulation course
designed primarily for senior computer science majors by: 1) developing
an integrated set of laboratory exercises based on computer science
topics using commercially available software (GPSS/H); 2) incorporating
these materials into a formal laboratory manual along with related
computer science reference materials and instructions in the use of
the software; 3) implementing a pilot course using this manual together
with a single text in the theory of simulation; 4) preparing a syllabus
and a detailed annotated course outline for the instructor, keyed to
the manual and the text. The materials developed will be flexible
and highly modular allowing their adoption or adaptation at other
institutions.
