Using Scheme for Discrete Simulation Edward E. Ferguson, Texas Instruments, Location 315 Sic, Time 2PM Scheme is a lexically-scoped dialect of LISP that gives the programmer access to continuations, a fundamental capability upon which general control structures can be built. This presentation will show how continuations can be used to extend Scheme to have the basic features of a discrete simulation language. Topics that will be covered include discrete simulation techniques, addition of simulation capability to a general-purpose language, why Scheme is a good base language for simulation, and the complete Scheme text for a simulation control package.
