CACI

CACI International Inc. (originally California Analysis Center, Inc., then Consolidated Analysis Center, Inc.) is an American multinational professional services and information technology company headquartered in Northern Virginia.

See SIMSCRIPT and CACI

Discrete-event simulation

A discrete-event simulation (DES) models the operation of a system as a (discrete) sequence of events in time.

See SIMSCRIPT and Discrete-event simulation

English language

English is a West Germanic language in the Indo-European language family, whose speakers, called Anglophones, originated in early medieval England on the island of Great Britain.

See SIMSCRIPT and English language

Fortran

Fortran (formerly FORTRAN) is a third generation, compiled, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.

See SIMSCRIPT and Fortran

GPSS

General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) is a simulation language used for discrete-event simulations. SIMSCRIPT and GPSS are simulation programming languages.

See SIMSCRIPT and GPSS

Harry Markowitz

Harry Max Markowitz (August 24, 1927 – June 22, 2023) was an American economist who received the 1989 John von Neumann Theory Prize and the 1990 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.

IBM 7090

The IBM 7090 is a second-generation transistorized version of the earlier IBM 709 vacuum tube mainframe computer that was designed for "large-scale scientific and technological applications".

See SIMSCRIPT and IBM 7090

IT History Society

The IT History Society (ITHS) is an organization that supports the history and scholarship of information technology by encouraging, fostering, and facilitating archival and historical research.

See SIMSCRIPT and IT History Society

Linux

Linux is both an open-source Unix-like kernel and a generic name for a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds.

Modern portfolio theory

Modern portfolio theory (MPT), or mean-variance analysis, is a mathematical framework for assembling a portfolio of assets such that the expected return is maximized for a given level of risk.

See SIMSCRIPT and Modern portfolio theory

Object-oriented programming

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects, which can contain data and code: data in the form of fields (often known as attributes or properties), and code in the form of procedures (often known as methods).

See SIMSCRIPT and Object-oriented programming

PL/I

PL/I (Programming Language One, pronounced and sometimes written PL/1) is a procedural, imperative computer programming language initially developed by IBM.

See SIMSCRIPT and PL/I

Preprocessor

In computer science, a preprocessor (or precompiler) is a program that processes its input data to produce output that is used as input in another program.

See SIMSCRIPT and Preprocessor

QUIKSCRIPT

QUIKSCRIPT is a simulation language derived from SIMSCRIPT, based on 20-GATE. SIMSCRIPT and QUIKSCRIPT are simulation programming languages.

See SIMSCRIPT and QUIKSCRIPT

RAND Corporation

The RAND Corporation is an American nonprofit global policy think tank, research institute, and public sector consulting firm.

Simula

Simula is the name of two simulation programming languages, Simula I and Simula 67, developed in the 1960s at the Norwegian Computing Center in Oslo, by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard. SIMSCRIPT and simula are simulation programming languages.

See SIMSCRIPT and Simula

Simulation language

A computer simulation language is used to describe the operation of a simulation on a computer. SIMSCRIPT and simulation language are simulation programming languages.

See SIMSCRIPT and Simulation language

SunOS

SunOS is a Unix-branded operating system developed by Sun Microsystems for their workstation and server computer systems.

See SIMSCRIPT and SunOS

Windows 7
