Simulation of a Signal Quality Survey

This paper describes a simulator for a large outdoor operation called a signal quality survey. Design and implementation of the simulator follows an object oriented approach with a primary focus of modeling operations cycles. The simulator is implemented in Visual C++/CSIM17. Excel acts as the primary user interface. A Microsoft Foundations Classes Single Document Interface application acts as a secondary user interface for simulation animation. We discuss the benefits of using discrete event simulation for this application. We also report on some of the challenges encountered during the implementation stages of the project.
