Systems philosophy provides the theoretical framework linking diverse applications of computer simulation. Natural systems and man-made systems may be regarded as end members of a spectrum of system types. Simula tion of man-made systems employs operations research techniques; the objectives of simulation are to optimize system design and to test the performance of models under differing parameter settings. Simulation of natural systems cannot readily utilize specialized simulation lan guages, as these are designed primarily for industrial and business applications. The objectives of simulating natu ral systems are normally to test alternative models and to see how they react under various conditions; the natural system itself cannot be changed (unless it is partly man- influenced)-only the model can.
