During the past decade, significant advances have been made in the tools available for human performance modeling. Primary advances have been in the development of languages aimed specifically at operator modeling; concurrently, microcomputer technology has been advancing rapidly. A language, which is conceptually similar to some other network modeling languages, was designed for human operator modeling on a microcomputer. Although this language is more limited in some respects; it is easier to use. The language's capabilities, limitations and opera tional tests of its efficiency are presented.

A random number generator particularly well suited for simula tion work on microcomputers is presented. The generator dif fers from conventional generators in that the floating point representation of the variate is constructed directly without first going the way of an equivalent integer representation of the variate.Implementations of the generator in FORTRAN-77 and PASCAL/MT+ for the IBM PC are presented, and the results of extensive empirical tests of the generator are provided. The generator is shown to be about as fast as conventional 16-bit congruential generators but with substantially better statistical properties and at least one order of magnitude longer period.

A new method tor computing the coefficients ot a digital algorithm to simulate a continuous transfer function is shown in a number of examples to be simple to apply and highly effec tive in operation. The poles of the function of s are mapped directly into the z-plane, but the positions of the z-plane zeros (which may be equal in number to the poles, or greater) are derived by a more complex process involving the use of the Taylor series expansion.
