abstract = "An experiment to test an operating systems simulation
language SIMONE (based on PASCAL) on a more normal
simulation problem is described. The actual problem
chosen was the Radiology Department of a hospital, a
model of which had already been constructed in FORTRAN.
This enabled not only an evaluation of SIMONE to be
performed but also a comparison with the FORTRAN model
to be undertaken. The comparison data showed a
substantial reduction in the timings for the SIMONE
model. The advantages of using a language with
appropriate simulation features, richer data and
control structures, good debugging and tracing
facilities were also evident.",
