Abstract

Norden has modified GPSS/360 to improve the man-machine interaction between the computer and the modeler at a 2250 display unit. This modified language operates in a partition of a multi-programming environment, thus permitting GPSS to be in the foreground while other jobs are being processed in the background. A part of what will be a complete operational system is now operational. This includes model building, and input and assembly error detection with means for correction. Detection of running errors is not yet implemented. Use of this system reduces the lapsed time required to obtain an operational model.
