Abstract

With the help of an example it is shown that there is a need for simulation languages for combined continuous and discrete models. Giving an overview of some necessary language constructs, the new COSMOS simulation language is presented. COSMOS is a process oriented simulation language, and as such it has inherited some of the language constructs of SIMULA. The power of the language is illustrated by two examples, describing models where the number of active copies of the processes varies during the simulation period.
