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.

Received April 1978.
