Abstract :
The INSIGHT simulation language uses a network representation to describe systems in a quick, simple, and compact fashion. This description can be entered and simulated using novel interactive computing facilities that free the user from learning specific syntax. Statistics summarizing the simulation are produced automatically, but can be greatly enhanced by various input models and output mechanisms. INSIGHT is available for most computers and is portable across machines. The language has been extensively applied and its scope of applications has ranged from manufacturing to service environments. Using INSIGHT, the process of simulation modeling and the results from the simulations combine to provide insight into problem solving
