... the Founder declares his decision to set up for an unlimited time the SIMULA Foundation (in furthermore the Foundation)
according to the paragraph 74/A of the Act 1959/IV on the Civil Code with the conditions below ...

The official English name is "SIMULA Foundation, Hungary".
The fantasy-name "SIMULA" consists of black, capital letters.

There is a great number of the publications in English and partly in Hungarian reporting the research/application results in connection with the programming language SIMULA. Scientific conferences have been organised by the Association of SIMULA Users, Oslo (in Hungarian SIMULA Felhasználók Nemzetközi Társasága) year by year.

The aim of the SIMULA Foundation is to provide a legal-frame and a financial-background for the SIMULA-activities in Hungary and to support with an institutional frame the improvement of the SIMULA-related international scientific relationships.

The SIMULA Foundation is to realize a permanent interest of the society

• by supporting the actual SIMULA-related researches,
• by promoting the public, the undergraduate and the postgraduate education/training of the SIMULA users, and
• by improving the SIMULA-related international scientific relationships and by organising conferences.

It has no political activities and supporting such activities is not allowed for that. It is forbidden for that to receive supports from the parties or to propose/support candidates of Parliamentary representation.
 
 
To determine the current research subjects is the task of the Board

However, the topics below proposed by the Founder for the Board of the Foundation, as actual SIMULA-related researches at the funding-time:

• SIMULA-development ( Windows SIMULA, CHECKPOINT/RESTART ),
• science of law supported by the system analysis (development of the DELTA-language of the system-description),
• fine scheduling of the railway time-tables by simulation ( scheduling by simulation ),
• effects of the SIMULA-BETA-DELTA paradigm on the history of the computer science and of the multi-displinary researches (the paradigm of programming by system description).

The amount of 50.000 HUF will be granted as a bank-deposit by the Founder in order to guarantee the minimal operabilities of the Foundation during the set up time.

The legal status of the Foundation is "opened". The "opened" status allows of anybody - either of private/legal persons or of organisations without any legal personalities - to join with a grant - i.e. with funds, donations and property-disposals - to the Foundation. Receptions of the grants should be decided by the Board.

Joining persons cannot become Founders by the fact of joining.

A grant can be dependent on a former declaration given by the Board:

Research/education reports should be written how the grant will be spent. In the case of a declaration-dependent grant the Board should make a decision on the declaration at first and the reception of the grant can be decided later.
 
 
The Board of the Foundation

The trustee of the properties of the Foundation and the highest level decision maker is the Board.

The five members of the Board are as follows:

Chairman: Mr. István Gehér
Secretary: Mr. András Gáspár

Mr. Péter Csáki
Mr. László Székely
Mr. dr. Zsigmond Papp

The task of the Board is to guarantee the operability of the Foundation and to decide what to do with the properties of the Foundation according to the Bylaws.
 
 
The basic information about the Board members (given by the Secretary of the Board)

Mr. István Gehér (President of the Board)

He is a mathematician, presently on pension. His last working place was the Computer and Automation Institute (CAI) of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS). He used to be a leader of the Software-Department at the old-timer American computer CDC 3300. One of his favourite research topics used to be the programming languages especially the SIMULA-language.

I am a mathematician. I also worked for the CAI of HAS and later for the Institute for Science Management and Informatics of the Ministry of Culture and Education. For some years I used to be a researcher of the Technical University, Budapest and of the University "Eötvös Loránd" as well. I am a personal member of the SIMULA Development Group (SDG, Oslo). I am interested in the SIMULA--DELTA--BETA paradigm, in the SIMULA-applications, in the system description and in the philosophy of the modelling sciences.

He is presently on pension. His last working place was the CAI of the HAS where he worked for a long time for the Group of Biomathematics. He used to be interested in the SIMULA-applications e.g. modelling the lake Balaton. Presently his field is the Object-Orientation in general (OO), the OO-Programming (OOP), the OO-Analysis (OOA), etc.

He is a lawyer working as a teacher of the High School for the Public Administration and of the Technical High School "Ybl Miklós". Some mathematical seminars were visited by him at the time when he used to be a law-student and presently he is an invited guest of the Hungarian radio-programme "Collection of Laws".

He was graduated as a program-designer mathematician at the University "József Attila", in Szeged and as a philosopher at the University "Eötvös Loránd". His Ph.D.-like scientific degree is from "the Philosophical Sciences". He works in the Institute of Philosophy of the HAS. His special subjects are the philosophy of sciences and philosophical-metaphysical problem of modern physics especially that of relativity theory and modern physical cosmology. He studied the SIMULA language as a student.
