Simulation language report generators, or I hear you but I don't know what you're saying.

Expert InsightsPublished 1966

Paper prepared for the Symposium on Simulation Techniques and Languages, London, May 1966. The author discusses simulation programming languages and their particular need for specialized output statements. The structure of future simulation language report generators is predicted through descriptions of the programmers' and managers' need for reports about or from simulation models and programs. A set of programming statements that satisfy these needs is presented and related to the simulation programming languages of today and the future. The programming statements are in SIMSCRIPT II, but the use is illustrative only; they have not been implemented. Examples of the reports generated by the hypothetical statements are included in the Appendix. 25 pp. Bibliog.
