Abstract
This paper examines how to make use of object oriented design and programming approaches in discrete event simulation. It reviews the concepts of classes and objects in general terms. From these it outlines the structure of an object oriented simulation package and its construction in C++. This is compared with SIMULAs original implementation of such facilities. Using the C++ package performance models are constructed along process based object oriented lines and the ideas of component based, hierarchical modelling are examined.
