Sažetak
This paper describes the modelling language GPSS++. One of the main purposes of the language is its use in education. It extends the well-known discrete-event modelling language GPSS in several aspects, among which an object-oriented modelling is one of the most important. Other extensions of GPSS++ are: support for modular and hierarchical modelling, support for hybrid modelling (discrete and continuous), and significantly enhanced features for description of model behaviour (by using features of a general purpose programming languages). Syntax of the language is also modernized. In the same time, GPSS++ tries to retain the basic GPSS concept of modelling that uses transactions and blocks. The paper describes the main features of the GPSS++ mentioned above. Results of comparison of models written in GPSS and GPSS++ are given. The main advantages of GPSS++ over old versions of the language are better organization of the model and improved readability and writeability. Also, the language is better adapted to the programmers with the background in modern and widely used object-oriented languages. In addition, GPSS++ is better suited for larger models due to its modular and hierarchical organization. GPSS++ is currently under development and here we describe its first version and we also give directions for future improvements and research.
