Early simulation groups were established at: Boeing, Martin Marietta, Air Force Logistics Command, General Dynamics, Hughes Aircraft, Raytheon, Celanese, Exxon, Southern Railway, and the computer manufacturers were IBM, Control Data, …

history of simulation can be written from many perspectives—for example, uses of simulation (analysis, training, re-search); types of simulation models (discrete-event, continuous, combined discrete-continuous); simulation programming languages or environments (GPSS, SIMSCRIPT, SIMULA, SLAM, Arena, AutoMod, Simio); and application domains or com...

various types of models and modeling will be demonstrated by examining the early history of the computer and attempts to simulate the brain with these early machines. In so doing, I will consider the automata theory developed by von Neumann as he was designing the EDVAC, arguably the first stored-program computer.

2019年11月12日 · This special issue collects four historical case studies that focus on exemplary instances of what are today regarded as computer simulations: mathematical problem-solving with the ENIAC computer (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) in the 1940s; the introduction of Monte Carlo simulations in particle physics of the 1960s; the ...

The chip quickly became popular with designers of early personal computers like the Apple II and Commodore PET, as well as game consoles like the Nintendo Entertainment System. The 6502 and its progeny are still used today, usually in embedded applications.

Then in the early 1980s the personal computer appeared and SIMAN (Pegden 1982) was among the early simulation languages to execute on this platform. SIMAN also employed stylized blocks to create a model of entities that flowed through a network of individual processing locations.

2013年2月20日 · It discusses the history of simulation that is often presented as a technique which appeared at the same time as computer science. Real-world examples of simulation are also provided. Simulation is spread across several scientific “cultures”, generally considered a tool and not as a separate domain such that the same term will not always ...

While analogue computers were not solely used for modelling, a historiography of models and modelling provides a coherent view of the history. Building on the thematic chronology of the last chapter, a modelling historiography emphasises the importance of those underlying themes that developed out of the second thematic time-line.

2023年1月28日 · While the early graphical devices of the modeling method nicely linked to specific simulation modeling code, the process of laying out that conceptual model was still largely manual and paper-based. This changed as the computer technology dramatically shifted and the computer displays associated with the computing systems dramatically improved.

The construction of the first general-purpose electronic computers such as the ENIAC (Burks and Burks 1981); and The work of Stanislaw Ulam, John von Neumann, Nicholas Metropolis, and others to use the Monte Carlo method on electronic computers in …
