Abstract :
There is a demand in European high schools for learning discrete-event simulation. The best system for this appears to be micro-GPSS (General-Purpose Simulation System). Up to now, micro-GPSS has lacked a graphical user interface (GUI) for model building. In this paper, two projects for such a GUI system are presented: WebGPSS, where the GUI is developed as a Java applet and the system runs over the World Wide Web, and WinGPSS, developed by Delphi to allow for a complete interface with other Windows programs
