ASCEND	ASCEND IV is both a large-scale object-oriented mathematical modeling environment and a strongly typed mathematical modeling language. Although ASCEND has primarily been developed by Chemical Engineers, great care has been exercised to assure that it is domain independent. ASCEND can support modeling activities in fields from Architecture to (computational) Zoology. www.cs.cmu.edu/~ascend

SansGUI	SansGUI is a modeling and simulation environment for developing and deploying scientific and engineering simulators without writing any graphical user interface code. It provides simulation developers with an object-oriented development environment to define the model building blocks of target systems and implement their behavior. The simulation users configure models from these building blocks, enter model parameters, run simulations, monitor execution progress, view dynamic charts, examine intermediate and final simulation results in the highly interactive SansGUI Run-Time Environment. Animated 3D graphics driven by the simulation code can be accomplished through its OpenGL support. http://www.protodesign-inc.com/sansgui.htm
Shift	Shift is a programming language for describing dynamic networks of hybrid automata. The Shift model offers the proper level of abstraction for describing complex applications such as automated highway systems, air traffic control systems, robotic shopfloors, coordinated submarines and other systems whose operation cannot be captured easily by conventional models. www.path.berkeley.edu/shift

Airport Simulator	Simulate an airport landing and takeoff pattern. The airport has 3 runways, two primarily for landing and one mainly for takeoffs. There are two arrival holding pattern queues for each of runways 1 & 2 and three departure queues, one for each runway. The queues are to be kept as close to the same size as possible. www.delphiforfun.org/Programs/airportsim.htm
