This paper is an introduction to SIMULA, a programming language designed to provide a systems analyst with unified concepts which facilitate the concise description of discrete event systems. A system description also serves as a source language simulation program. SIMULA is an extension of ALGOL 60 in which the most important new concept is that of quasi-parallel processing.
Dahl et al. (1966) studied this question.
