The simulation of a computer is not commonly used in information systems curricula. However, the use of simulation is popular among computer science faculty. Simulation allows the visualization of the internal workings of a computer and a "hands-on" interface at the machine level. This paper describes the simulation of a simple computer architecture that is appropriate for use in IS'01.1 - Fundamentals of Information Systems, IS'01.4 - Information Technology Hardware and System Software, and IS'01.5 - Programming, Data, File, and Object Structures.

Keywords: computer architecture, interpreters, simulation, IS 2001
