DEVELOPMENT OF DISCRETE DIGITAL SIMULATION LANGUAGES,

Abstract

The article deals with a particular type of simulation: the use of numerical and logical models to represent discrete changes of state of a system as it moves through time. Simulation models of this type are usually formulated symbolically using flow charts or logic diagrams, coded in some programming language, and run on a digital computer. The report presents the history, current status and possible future of discrete digital simulation languages -- computer languages that are used for describing the structure and dynamics of discrete-time systems.
