With regard to continouous simulation, the course only aims to give an introduction to the field. Thus, the introductory form of these notes. It should be strongly emphasized that the present edition is the first one. Critisisms are most welcome (and expected). The branch of science occupied with computer simulation of continuous real-life events is afairly young one. Furthermore, the branch has its background in several disciplins such as general systems theory, cybernetics, computer science, numeri­cal analysis and mathematical analysis. Consequently, no final terminology for the branch has been settled. This leads to a choice when introducing continuous simulation. The present note, the terminology of Svend Clausen [1] was chosen for systems, while Mihram 1 s terminology [2] is applied to models. and to the modeling process. Continuous simulation involves a number of fairly abstract con­cepts. In an attempt to ensure the readability, the descrip­tions are backed by a master example which will be used to illu­strate the presented concepts throughout the entire note." }
