Corporate planning modeling languages
Abstract
This session deals with the software to develop corporate planning models. Basically, two alternatives are available. Corporate planning models can either be programmed in a general purpose scientific language like FORTRAN, PL/1, or APL or they can be coded in a planning and modeling language like the one used throughout this text - SIMPLAN.
There are at least two major benefits associated with the use of one of the scientific programming languages. First, they are extremely flexible. That is, most of the important elements of a planning and modeling system can be coded in FORTRAN, PL/1, or APL. Indeed, a recent survey showed that 50% of the corporate models had been written in FORTRAN. Second, these languages are quite well-known, particularly FORTRAN.
