{Modellazione e simulazione di reti logiche combinatorie}   One of my first experiences in the field of  simulation  that my memory brings to mind concerns a project that I prepared for the state exam. It was 1988 and I was preparing to obtain a diploma as a Computer Technician at the State Industrial Technical Institute "Ettore Majorana" in Martina Franca (Taranto, Italy).   The project, to which I gave the name  CombiCad , consisted of software for the computer aided design ( CAD ) of combinatorial logic networks. the simulation of combinatorial networks.   The system first of all allowed the definition of the layout of the combinatorial network, ie the definition of the gates that constituted it, and the connections between them. Once the combinatorial logic network was defined, and assimilating it to a single functional block (black box), the software made it possible to interactively check the logic state of the output as the logic states of the inputs...
