software to help efficiently design a plant layout, based on the info
you supply it. Our book lists several software packages, such as CRAFT,
CORELAP, ALDEP, and PLANET, and tells a little about each. The problem is
that the book is not exactly up to date (copyright 1977).
up to date software packages for facilities layout. I don't need the
actual software, but just the names of the packages, who publishes it
(name, address, and phone, if possible), and maybe a short overview on
what the package is capable of (such as graphically displaying layouts
based on user input, updating and changing layouts, ease of use, etc).

groups who have already done this or have useful experiences in object
synthesis (sky, geography, vehicle, flora/fauna, etc.). Specifically,
it would be nice to acquire a working platform but, more generally,
I would like to gather references on model libraries, structure-building
algorithms and relevant literary references. I would be happy to compile
a summary of these things for the list. There have already been a couple
of useful and relevant discussions here like the "cloud synthesis" topic.

simulator I could ever find was a program called COSSAP.I think it is
somewhat experimental and I've been told that it has some problems
with it like poor documentation.I was wondering if any of you guys out
there know a good simulator that I can get a hold of.Thank you in

This would allow someone to simply attach the simulator to a usable
prototype with few modifications so that one could either simulate or
simply run the prototype. This could remove the problem of verifying
that the simulation is correct w.r.t. the prototype.

discrete-event simulation.
My experience has been with a book entitled
"Simulating Computer Systems", by M.H. MacDougall,
MIT Press, 1987.
The book utilises a small language of the
author's devising and includes the source code.
The strong point of the book is somewhat in-depth
simulation examples which students could modify
in various ways (e.g. as directed by the chapter
end exercises) and which teach about some relevant
computer-related topics (e.g. the ethernet model
is developed fairly extensively, taking up a whole
chapter). Other chapters are devoted to other
computer-related models and simulations.
Unfortunately, the basics are described too
quickly and advanced topics are brought up with
insufficient explanation, making the book perhaps`
unsuitable to an introductory course even at the
graduate level. At any rate, the graduate class
I taught had problems with it (and I had a few
myself).
A disk with the author's simulation language
is included as well as an instructor's manual
with exercise solutions.
The 1987 publication date and some annoying
and confusing typos may also deserve consideration.
I'd be interested to hear if this assessment is
shared by others in simulation, as my background
in simulation is a bit unconventional, coming from
the AI (qualitative simulation) end of the spectrum.
