From page 217...
... The software environment of 1995 will be able to capitalize on the expected hardware advances. We expect the software environment of 1995 to be characterized by inter alla, the following elements of importance to microanalytic simulation activities: · a powerful graphical user interface, with tools for controlling the interface available to the operating system and to user programs and systems; · substantial advances in computer-based software engineering tools that will magnify the productivity of software designers and implementers, with strong orientation to graphical construction and display tools; · object orientation in systems and in programming languages that will be well developed and will provide a more mature paradigm for model construction
