for SIMUlation LAnguage.
Kristen Nygaard & Ole-Johan Dahl, designed 1962, implemented 1964.
Extension to ALGOL 60 for the Univac 1107, for discrete simulation.
Added two new structures to Algol - SIMULA processes (which became objects) and SIMULA activities (which became methods). Control of these passed to the Executive system at runtime.

Coroutines.

"UNIVAC developed the 1107, its secondgeneration scientific computer, between 1960 and 1962. There was much talk about ALGOL being its primary language [...] Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland provided an ALGOL compiler for the EXEC II environment, as part of the arrangement by which it acquired an 1107. The Case Tech compiler was completed in 1964, and computer science students there were trained in ALGOL, rather than FORTRAN [...] In 1962 Bob Bemer became aware of the SIMULA language which had been proposed by Kristen Nygaard and Ole-Johan Dahl of the Norwegian Computing Center. SIMULA was designed for the analysis of systems which can be modeled as a series of events, such as a service counter serving a line of customers. In 1963 UNIVAC agreed to provide an 1107 to the Norwegian Computing Center at a discounted price in exchange for the development of SIMULA as an extension to the Case Tech ALGOL. The 1107 was delivered in August 1963, and the first version of SIMULA was completed in December 1964. "
