Computer simulations as experiments
Synthese, 2008Whereas computer simulations involve no direct physical interaction between the machine they are run on and the physical systems they are used to investigate, they are often used as experiments and yield data about these systems. It is commonly argued that they do so because they are implemented on physical machines.

Computer Simulation Techniques
Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing, 2002Computer simulation models can be extremely valuable for teaching and for understanding real world processes. The discipline of creating a model forces the investigator to carefully define each relationship and test the result. Even simple models can be fundamentally unpredictable. Models are typically comprised of systems of differential equations and

Simulating physics with computers [PDF]
International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 1982 This chapter describes the possibility of simulating physics in the classical approximation, a thing which is usually described by local differential equations. But the physical world is quantum mechanical, and therefore the proper problem is the simulation of quantum physics. A computer which will give the same probabilities as the quantum system does.

Computer Simulation in Psychiatry
Archives of General Psychiatry, 1966WITH THE publication in recent years of such important works as Colby's 1 computer simulation of a neurotic process, Bellman's 2 analysis of psychiatric interviewing in terms of decision theory, Feigenbaum's 3 studies of simulation of verbal learning behavior, Gullahorn's 4 models of social behavior, and Newell and Simon's 5 simulation of human thought,

Proceedings of the 1975 annual conference on - ACM 75, 1975
The use of computer simulations as instructional tools has grown considerably in recent years. With the growing availability of instructional-timesharing, expecially in elementary and secondary schools, the use of instructional computer simulations is likely to expand even more.

1990
In this chapter we give a condensed introduction to the basic features of computer simulation methods. We particularly review the Monte Carlo method of importance sampling and the principles of molecular dynamics simulations. Some of the systematic effects associated with computer simulations, such as finite-size effects, statistical errors and so on ...

Computer simulations in spectrometry
Analytica Chimica Acta, 1991Abstract A commercially available simulation computer program has been augmented by the addition of libraries of Jones and Mueller calculus component blocks, enabling the program to handle mixed systems consisting of both electronic signal processing blocks and optical component blocks. The program and libraries constitute a “scientific block diagram

Computer simulations of photoionization
Zeitschrift für Physik D Atoms, Molecules and Clusters, 1989The Energy Distribution of Ionizing Transitions (EDIT) for (Cs2O) n clusters has been calculated using the technique of molecular dynamics. Isomerization, thermal atomic motion and the electronic density of states all contribute to the shape of these curves.

Problems of computer simulation
Behavioral Science, 1967Computer simulation of psychological processes presents a number of problems, which are too infrequently discussed explicitly. The most important of those are the relation between a program and the theory it embodies—it is often difficult to distinguish between the theoretically relevant aspects and those of a merely technical nature—and validation of ...
