    This period of expansion for SIMULA took the form of a pure system description language called DELTA (Holbaek-Hanssen 1977). The DELTA project sought to implement system specification for simulation execution through a series of transformation from a high level user
    perspective through an intermediate form called BETA, culminating with an executable language called GAMMA.
