Simulation Techniques and Applications Logic, programming, and type systems History of Computing Technologies

Abstract

Knowing history can be protective; we have all heard that those who do not are doomed to repeat it. Considering one well regarded expert's estimate of 137 simulation programming languages (SPLs) created by 1981, many perhaps have already duplicated the numerous mistakes of their predecessors. History can also be informative, instructive and entertaining as hopefully this abridged and differently focused approach can illustrate. Questions concerning the causes for so many SPLs, the remarkably similar parallel developments, and the role of the SPLs versus programming languages in general might admit to historical answers. At the least, sharing speculations could prove enlightening and amusing.
