It is fairly easy to use a language like ALGOL W1 for event‐ or activity‐oriented simulation. A method is described to use such a language for process‐oriented simulation. The illusion of co‐routines necessary in this type of simulation is maintained by low‐level language procedures which alter the run‐time stack. Two new scheduling procedures are also described.
