Abstract
SIMULA (1) is a general purpose language, specially oriented towards the development of user oriented software in various fields. The language provides the programmer with means (notably the class-subclass facility) to define concepts relevant to a particular problem — or problem area. The basic properties of concepts can be collected in a class definition, which serves as a foundation for further development. Specific characteristics can be added, in the format of lower level subclass definitions, and this process of progressive refinement can be repeated as often as required.
