Evolution of Continuous-Time Modeling and Simulation

Modeling and simulation have experienced an amazing development since its beginning in the 1920s. At that time, the technology was available only at a handful of university groups. Today it is available on the desk of all engineer who needs it. The paper presents the current status of modeling and simulation. It draws on the historical perspective to explain how the field has developed. Particular emphasis is given to shifts in technology and paradigms.
