Simulation Modelling Using an Interactive Simulation Program Generator

Abstract

The development of an interactive simulation program generator which is available on micro and mainframe computers is outlined. The generator forms part of a simulation environment being researched into and constructed by a group of researchers at the London School of Economics. The generated programs are written in Pascal, using a suite of routines which assume a three-phase structure for simulation programs. Experiences of modelling using such a simulation modelling environment are outlined, as well as details of related research and future research plans.
