Abstract: Increased man-machine communications capability can provide improvements in problem solving. This improvement can be achieved by designing flexibility of input and output through the use of interactive graphics. This paper outlines an interactive simulation system for use in city planning. In this system, simulation models of a city's demography, employment, transportation, utilities, and communications systems are interfaced with each other and with a graphics screen through the use of a module called the interface control program. This program functions as a system monitor and recognizes what, where, and when information should be transferred through the system. The interactive city planning model allows applications-oriented problem solvers to effectively use the problem solving capability of the computer to respond to events as they develop during a simulation run.
