SIMULATION PROGRAMMING AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS,
Abstract
Techniques are discussed that have arisen for simplifying and speeding development of digital simulation and for increasing the meaningfulness of their results. SIMULATION PROGRAMMING: Of programming languages for a simulation model, the General Purpose Systems Simulator II (IBM DP Div., B20-6346, 1963) should be used if it is adaptable and if memory limitations and running time are not excessive; otherwise SIMSCRIPT (B. H. Markowitz and H. Karr, 'SIMSCRIPT: A Simulation Programming Language,' Englewood Cliffs, N. J., Prentice Hall, April 1963) or other languages should be used. The method of Ginsberg, Markowitz, and Oldfather (AD-613 976) for programming by questionnaire eliminates the need for learning a formal simulation language and reduces the time for obtaining a program to a matter of days or hours. ANALYSIS OF RESULTS: The complication of the variability of simulation results has been approached by Conway (AD-287 527) regarding the time series aspect and by Fishman and Kiviat (AD-612 281) regarding spectral analysis.
