Abstract: Abstract Efficient modeling of delay conditions is a critical requirement of modern discrete-event simulation software. In this article four forms of delay are discussed: time-based, state-based, compound combinations of time-based and state-based, and user-managed. Most of the algorithms described are those used by the SLX simulation language. An informal survey of SLX users provides many examples of the demands placed on delay mechanisms and the resultant performance of the SLX models.
