Abstract
Since its publication in 1967 the CSSL specification has served as a successful standard for continuous simulation languages. However, recent advantages in modeling techniques, simulation methodologies and computer languages has motivated the simulation community to spur several standardization committees. In this paper the 1967 standard as well as several modern CSSL languages are reviewed, some current trends and developments are discussed and the status of present standardization efforts is presented. An outlook on some of the facilities we can expect to find in future simulation packages (with or without standardization) is given
