The Simulation Metamodel
(Researchers develop simulation models that emulate real-w...)
Researchers develop simulation models that emulate real-world situations. While these simulation models are simpler than the real situation, they are still quite complex and time consuming to develop. It is at this point that metamodeling can be used to help build a simulation study based on a complex model. A metamodel is a simpler, analytical model, auxiliary to the simulation model, which is used to better understand the more complex model, to test hypotheses about it, and provide a framework for improving the simulation study. The use of metamodels allows the researcher to work with a set of mathematical functions and analytical techniques to test simulations without the costly running and re-running of complex computer programs. In addition, metamodels have other advantages, and as a result they are being used in a variety of ways: model simplification, optimization, model interpretation, generalization to other models of similar systems, efficient sensitivity analysis, and the use of the metamodel's mathematical functions to answer questions about different variables within a simulation study.

Comparative Programming Languages: Generalizing the Programming Function
(Focusing on problem solvers within the programming functi...)
Focusing on problem solvers within the programming functions, rather than on compiler writing and language design, Friedman combats the problem of language dependence by showing how programming languages achieve the same results using different syntactic constructs. The text centres on business information processing emphasizing program design methodology, database-centred high-productivity tools and commercial applications. It examines fourth-generation languages and modern programming environments, covers object-oriented and expert systems programming languages, Smalltalk and Prolog, discusses programming paradigms - imperative, functional, rule-oriented, object-oriented, access, dataflow and constraint.
