DYNAmic MOdels simulation

Phyllis Fox & A.L. Pugh, Industrial Dynamics Group, MIT 1959

Continuous simulation including economic, industrial and social systems.

"These shortcomings were corrected by DYNAMO (DYNAmic MOdels), written by Phyllis Fox (Mrs. George Sternlieb) and Alexander L. Pugh, III, and completed in the spring of 1959.  Mr. Roberts
modified and improved the plotting routine, and Grace Duren and David J. Howard assisted with other phases of the program. The program was rewritten the following summer by the same team.  Following this effort the maintenance of DYNAMO became the responsibility of Mr. Pugh.  When M.I.T. replaced the 704 with the 709, DYNAMO was converted to run on the new machine. In 1962, Jay W. Forrester of M.I.T. suggested a relaxation of the requirements on initial values, which was implemented. When C.T.S.S. (Compatible Time Sharing System) became generally available, DYNAMO was modified to operate under it.  This facility made it possible to create, debug, and run a model in a matter of hours, the output returning directly back to the console"
