\Large J-Sim version 0.1.1 J-Sim is a Java-based tool for simulation of discrete processes. J-Sim was developed at the University of West Bohemia in order to give programmers a possibility to choose between two of the most used programming languages in these days: the C language and Java. In recent years, Java has gained a stable position in programmers' community and has become widely supported by all subjects in the IT market. Thus there is a strong belief that J-Sim will be used at least as much as C-Sim, an already existing C-based simulation library by which J-Sim was strongly inspired. Both C-Sim and J-Sim have their roots in Simula, a programming language created especially for simulation purposes. However, J-Sim provides a modern, more elegant, comprehensible, and accessible way to do the same job. The typical application area of J-Sim is functional validation of distributed, parallel, and fault-tolerant systems and programs. J-Sim is freeware, available for download at its WWW page. Source texts, API documentation, and many examples are also provided. Keywords: Discrete-event simulation, Pseudo-parallel processes, J-Sim, Java, C-Sim, Simula. ?
