Abstract
Exploratory programming environments provide close integration between
program editing and execution, making it possible to change a program
and then continue to execute it. We show how such an environment can be
built for Simula. An execution model is developed which describes the
effects a program modification has on the execution. We also show how
the execution model can be implemented using incremental compilation.
