Using Scheme for Discrete Simulation

Edward E. Ferguson, Texas Instruments,
Location 315 Sic, Time 2PM

Scheme is a lexically-scoped dialect of LISP that gives the programmer
access to continuations, a fundamental capability upon which general
control structures can be built.  This presentation will show how continuations
can be used to extend Scheme to have the basic features of a discrete
simulation language.  Topics that will be covered include discrete
simulation techniques, addition of simulation capability to a general-purpose
language, why Scheme is a good base language for simulation, and the
complete Scheme text for a simulation control package.
