As a computer science student at 'Universitaet Dortmund'
I am writing a thesis in the field 'Parallel Discrete
Event Simulation (PDES)'.

SIMULA has been applied with great success to 'Discrete
Event Simulation (DES)'. One of SIMULA's strength (with
respect to DES) is the concept of 'coroutines', but SIMULA
lacks concepts for 'concurrency'.

I am wondering if the BETA Language - being in the SIMULA 
tradition and containing a powerful concept for concurrency
could be applied to PDES with comparable success.

  Has anybody already applied BETA successfully to 
  DES or even PDES?

Any hints and pointers to other sources of information are
welcome. Please eMail me: <warda@ls4.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>
I will post a summary to this newsgroup.

A.
