Simulation programming using spreadsheet software
Richard M. Reese · NCSU Libraries Repository (North Carolina State University Libraries) · 1984
This paper will examine the use of Spreadsheet software for sophisticated simulation projects. The advantages and disadvantages of using spreadsheet software, specifically Lotus*, for simulation programs will be illustrated through two simulation examples. Future directions for simulation languages are proposed. These include the need for simulation language to provide an easy method to observe the dynamics of the simulation, an integrated database and graphic Facilities, and a more non-algorithmic approach to simulation languages.
