Macro-Handler for Simulation Packages Using ML/I

Abstract

The demands on a macro-handler for use in simulation languages are described. It is shown how general purpose macro generators may be used in this context. An introductory part of the paper shows under which circumstances such macro-handlers are useful. The possibilities for dividing simulation packages into several subpackages are discussed, out of which the macro-handler will be one. Prospectives for further development of simulation languages suitable for use in parameter identification and other optimization problems, interactive computer-aided design problems, etc. are pointed out. Since such programs will have to run on minicomputers for most applications, an independently working macro-handler as described below will be one element of it.
