ABSTRACT
Criteria are suggested for use in conducting comparative assessments of languages for use in discrete simulation. The criteria are grouped within the categories of simulation-specific criteria and general criteria. A discussion is provided concerning the significance the various assessment criteria have in modeling and simulation. Suggestions are offered concerning the use of the criteria in a language selection process.

Recommendations
Information criteria: How do they behave in different models?
The choice of the best model is crucial in modeling data, and parsimony is one of the principles that must guide this choice. Despite their broad use in model selection, the foundations of the Akaike information criterion (AIC), the corrected Akaike ...
Holistic assessment criteria: applying SOLO to programming projects
ACE '07: Proceedings of the ninth Australasian conference on Computing education - Volume 66How you define your assessment criteria should influence the way the students approach the assignment. Does this mean that if we use a holistic criterion-based assessment strategy that students will look more holistically at the topic rather than ...
