Software

jStrobe Software: jStrobe is a software for creating and running discrete event simulation models. It is based on the STROBOSCOPE simulation language developed by Dr. Julio Martinez in his dissertation (Martinez 1996). Dr. Martinez also wrote a great introductory paper to EZStrobe (Martinez 2002), which has an example exercise that can directly be used to learn jStrobe. Dr. Louis teaches a graduate-level class on using jStrobe for analysis and optimization. The software is free to use for educational research. Commercial entities may contact Dr. Louis for information on obtaining and using the software. It is available for free for research and educational uses and its installation file can be downloaded here.
Please note that it currently only works on Windows Operating Systems.
