| Name | Language | Type | Last Updated | License | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| adevs | C++ | Library | February 20, 2014 (v2.8.1)[1] | BSD | A C++ library for building discrete event simulations. Adevs is based on the Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) and Dynamic DEVS modeling formalisms; it supports parallel discrete event simulation and a runtime system for OpenModelica. |
| CPN Tools | BETA | Software | September 1, 2013 (v4.0.0)[2] | GPLv2 | A tool to analyse logistics/queuing models in all types of applications. |
| DESMO-J | Java | Library | March 26, 2014 (v2.4.1)[3] | Apache 2.0 | A framework for discrete-event simulation in Java, supporting hybrid event/process models and providing animation in 2D and 3D. |
| Facsimile | Scala | Library | April 29, 2009[4] | LGPLv3 | A free, open-source discrete-event simulation/emulation library. |
| Galatea | Java | November 4, 2013 (V3.0r6)[5] | GPLv2 | An agent-based simulation platform. | |
| LeoTask | Java | Library | January 7, 2015 (v1)[6] | FreeBSD License | A lightweight, productive, reliable, parallel simulation running and results aggregation (MapReduce) framework. It supports checkpoints and can continue and recover the tasks from interruption (e.g. power outage). |
| MASON | Java | Library | November 29, 2013 (v17)[7] | AFLv3 | A fast discrete-event multi-agent simulation library core in Java, designed to be the foundation for large custom-purpose Java simulations. |
| PowerDEVS | C++ | Software | September 18, 2013 (v933)[8] | AFL, GPLv2 | An integrated tool for hybrid systems modeling and simulation based on the DEVS formalism. |
| Ptolemy II | Java | Library | October 28, 2010 (v8.0.1)[9] | BSD | An open-source software framework supporting experimentation with actor-oriented design.[9] |
| SIM.JS | JavaScript | Library | January 16, 2012 (v0.26)[10] | LGPL | SIM.JS is a general-purpose Discrete Event Simulation library written entirely in JavaScript. Runs in browser and a GUI-based modeling tool is supported. |
| SimPy | Python | Library | April 7, 2014 (v3.0.4)[11] | MIT | An open source process-oriented discrete event simulation package implemented in Python. It is based on Simula concepts, but goes significantly beyond Simula in its synchronization constructs. |
| SystemC | C++ | Library | April 13, 2007 (v2.2) | A set of C++ classes and macros which provide an event-driven simulation kernel in C++. | |
| Tortuga | Java | Library | September 1, 2008[12] | LGPLv2.1 | An open source software framework for discrete-event simulation in Java. |
Commercial
- AnyLogic is a graphical general purpose simulation tool which supports discrete event, system dynamics and agent-based modeling approaches. In discrete event simulation it roots to the same approach as GPSS, but provides additional features: combining different modeling approaches, dynamic animation, GIS integration (tile maps and shapefiles), DB-connectivity, DXF-import, rich experimental framework etc. Has a free PLE version available for educational and self-educational purposes.
