7. Conclusions

In this paper, many aspects of the J-Sim simulation tool have been discussed: the theoretical background, the kernel and main principles it is based on, the queues, the exception system and many other little details. Finally, some useful practical examples have been presented which will certainly be appreciated mainly by programmers using J-Sim in their everyday life.

The author believes that J-Sim will become at least as popular as C-Sim, its already highly-developed predecessor. Since J-Sim and C-Sim are tightly related to each other, a possible migration to J-Sim should be a matter of hours. Since detailed API documentation and many ready-to-run examples, having form of a little tutorial, are distributed together with the tool, developing discrete-simulations applications becomes much easier than it has been so far. Finally, J-Sim's graphics possibilities, as well as its abilities to run in any Java environment, make it a candidate for the most used discrete-simulations tool in near future.
