This paper introduces a new linguistic dynamic simulation methodology, SLIN which deals with systems defined in either qualitative or quantitative terms. The simulation mechanisms proposed in SLIN include a set of logical rules and fuzzy set theory. An application of SLIN to Sado estuary showed its promise but also some of its present limitations. Future developments including an appropriate diagrammatic representation, a new linguistic simulation computer language, implementation in parallel computers and subsequent real-time multi-expert based simulation are also discussed.
