SIMOGEN - An Object-Oriented Language for Simulation

Abstract

The Simogen language has been designed specifically to provide a user-friendly environment for computer modellers. It is a heavily object- oriented language, but has been designed to be easy to pick up for the most inexperienced of users, rather than to exploit the full power of the object- oriented paradigm in all cases. This paper looks at the reasons why it was felt necessary to create a new language, and considers the reasons behind the particular design chosen. It also describes the language in outline, and discusses briefly to what extent the language can be said to be object-oriented. Finally, an outline is given of a possible iconic interface for the language, to ease it's use still further.
