Abstract
A model for coronary heart disease simulation called Crispers was originally developed at the National Resource for the Simulation of Stochastic Micropopulation Models. To continue and expand studies of risk factor interventions, and to make use of recent developments at the Resource, the concepts of Crispers were implemented as a new specialization of the general, abstract model and simulation shell termed Summers. This paper briefly describes Crispers and its application, and then focuses on the specialization process and its advantages.
