system and/or evaluating various strategies for the
operation of the system.”
What is SLAM?
SLAM is a simulation language that allows
for alternative modeling approaches. It
allows systems to be viewed from a
process, event, or state variable
perspective. These alternate modeling
world views are combined in SLAM to
provide a unified systems modeling
framework.
Application of SLAM?

Evaluation of a proposed facility for producing a

rocket launch system

Design and analysis of a pharmaceutical

manufacturing facility

Analysis of methods for distributing oil products.

Prepare for more complex and larger projects

It provides the constructs to view systems from process,
event, or state-variable perspectives.
The following software has been developed for use with
SLAM:

• TESS provides database management for simulation

output data and facilities.

• The SLAM interactive execution environment

• Networking Modeling
SLAM is a simulation model
normally begins with a network,
or flow diagram, which
graphically portrays the flow of
entities.
