FOLDOC MODEL

A Pascal-like language with extensions for
large-scale system programming and interface with Fortran
applications. MODEL includes generic procedures, and a
"static" macro-like approach to data abstraction. It
produces P-code and was used to implement the DEMOS
operating system on the Cray-1.

["A Manual for the MODEL Programming Language", J.B. Morris,
Los Alamos 1976].

FOLDOC model

A description of observed behaviour, simplified
by ignoring certain details. Models allow complex systems
to be understood and their behaviour predicted within the scope
of the model, but may give incorrect descriptions and
predictions for situations outside the realm of their intended
use. A model may be used as the basis for simulation.

Note: British spelling: "modelling", US: "modeling".
