Direct Simulation From A Model Specification Language, Richard Pimentel
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this thesis was to develop a program that would accept, as input, a finite set of algebraic equations and simple if-then conditional expressions that model a natural system, and then produce a continuous computer simulation with graphics and tabular output. The equations and conditionals can be in any order and key elements can be missing. The program can be used to run existing models or as a development tool to produce immediate prototypic computer simulations through synergistic man-machine interactions.
The theoretical aspects of automatic program generation were discussed, as well as the architectural design of the system. …

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
A program written in today's sequential programming languages must be written according to a rule which states that source instructions must be written in their exact order of execution. A better rule would be to let the programmer write the instructions in any order he wants- - then let a program figure out the proper order of execution. Such a system applies not only to individual instructions in a procedure or program, but to procedures in a program and to programs in a job stream.
This paper and its associated automatic ordering program introduce a method by which instructions can …
