This paper introduces the concept of a general inter face between simulation models and simulation pro gramming languages. The interface is a program generator. The simulation model is represented in a symbolic form through an entity-cycle diagram. Three program generators are cited, and examples of two are given. The advantages of the technique are discussed.
