Using the Stochastic Simulation in Java Library from Jython

The Stochastic Simulation in Java (SSJ) library provides a set of software tools supporting discrete-event simulation using the Java programming language. It also supports continuous simulation, discrete event simulation with both event-oriented view and process-oriented views, quasi-Monte Carlo methods, and mixtures of these. This article demonstrates use of SSJ from Jython and suggests situations where Jython may be a preferred method of accessing the library.
