"CLASS - Composite Language Approach for System Simulation" view details Abstract: There is an obvious need for a language which permits the incorporation of discrete and continuous representation in the same model. A composite language (CLASS) is described, with a typical application for which this approach is appropriate. In addition, the flexibility of a composite language in offering the use of either an event or entity flow orientation, is shown to be advantageous to the modeler. The choice depends on his needs in describing various logic patterns in different sections of the model under construction.

  • Hixson, Harold G. "CLASS - Composite Language Approach for System Simulation" view details Abstract: There are several possible approaches to providing both discrete event and continuous system simulation capability in the same modeling context. One approach is to develop a new language which has this capability. Another, which is addressed in this tutorial, is the use of compatible languages in combination. One possibility involves the use of SIMSCRIPT II as the basic language. Another possibility is the use of the General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) and its ?HELP? language FORTRAN. This tutorial explains the basic capabilities required for discrete event modeling, those needed for continuous system simulation, and the considerations involved in achieving a ?hybrid? language capability. It also includes application examples, concentrating on an application requiring additional language facilities for modeling process control computer systems.
