Basic Hytran Simulation Language: BHSL

Abstract

An appropriate subtitle for this paper might read: "A Fortran Compatible Dialect of the SCI Continuous System Simulation Language." Here the words "continuous system" distinguish the application area of interest from that encompassed by the event based simulation languages of the genre of GPSS, SIMSCRIPT, etc. The reference to SCI indicates that BHSL, while certainly a member of the growing family of simulation languages, was designed to meet standardization guidelines established by the Simulation Software Committee of Simulation Councils Incorporated.
