What is simjava?

simjava is a process based discrete event simulation package for Java, similar to Jade's Sim++, with animation facilities. If that means nothing to you, then take a look at the examples to see what's possible.

A simjava simulation is a collection of entities each running in its own thread. These entities are connected together by ports and can communicate with each other by sending and receiving event objects. A central system class controls all the threads, advances the simulation time, and delivers the events. The progress of the simulation is recorded through trace messages produced by the entities and saved in a file.
