Abstract

In this paper, we first present a new system-level specification language for the simulation of communication networks. It fuses together features of SDL and BONeS and is intended to model communication networks. At the same time, it is also a simulation language supporting reusability well. It has a textural representation and a graphical representation. A complete example which models a M/M/1 queue is also given to illustrate the application in a communication network simulation. From this specification, we can see the friendship and flexibility of the SIMUL language. The simulation result is compared with the theoretical one and shows the correctness of this modeling process
