To simulate or not to simulate
ITSC 2001. 2001 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems. Proceedings (Cat. No.01TH8585), 2002A simple decision analysis framework is used to illustrate the key factors to consider in deciding whether or not to use microsimulation to estimate the effects of transportation projects. Microsimulation is useful if it (1) results in implementation of a worthwhile project that would not have been implemented without the simulation or (2) prevents ...

Simulation, Gaming, and the Simulative [PDF]
Simulation & Gaming, 1999 This article examines the dominance of media-effects studies in communications scholarship and compares the study of communications with the study of simulations and games. The author draws parallels between the two fields of study and discusses the future research agenda for the study of simulations and games.

To simulate or not to simulate…
1992Many neural network structures provide a regularity which allows for efficient implementation in hardware devices. However, the performance of these designs is often limited by other factors to levels which fall well short of those expected. The paper discusses a number of these factors and indicates characteristics which make problems more or less ...

SYNOPTIC ABSTRACTThe principal shortcoming of simulated annealing (SA) is that it takes too much computer time. We present a few “swindling” ideas for speeding up SA by simulating its action on a problem. The increase in speed is attained at the cost of decreasing generality — the methods all require the use of problem-specific information.

Distributed Simulation and Simulation Practice
SIMULATION, 2004The possibilities of distributed simulation have been discussed for well over a decade, yet there is only limited evidence of its implementation, particularly within industry. The reasons for this are discussed by identifying the potential applications of distributed simulation and linking these to the ways in which simulation is practiced. The extent

A simulation is an orchestrated series of operations used to model the behaviour of a system. The system being simulated could exist, such as the world economy, have existed, such as a transition in evolutionary history, or be hypothetical, such as the synthetic world of a computer game. A simulation will typically model how a system develops over time,

Simulation of the Perfect Simulation?
Simulation & Gaming, 2000The author shortly explains why a question put down in the title will be a question that must be considered by individuals engaged in the areas of simulation and simulation games in the near future.

Simulating Simulations to Lower Cost of Simulation Solutions
AIAA Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference and Exhibit, 2002Great engineering value is obtained using simulations in place o f systems before they are built or when the systems are unavailable. As systems have gotten more complicated, simulations have gotten more complicated. Now, many simulations are as (or more) complicated than the systems which inspired the use of simulati on in the first place.

The published literature sets out quite clearly the design specification of a treatment simulator, although one needs to look at several papers to collect a complete set of design features (Ashton, 1966; Farmer, Fowler and Haggith, 1963; Green, 1966; Greene, Nelson and Gibb, 1964; Jones and Stanley, 1969; Jung, Larsson, Rosengren, Stahl and Wretlind ...

"Spreadsheet simulation" refers to the use of a spreadsheet as a platform for representing simulation models and performing simulation experiments. This tutorial explains the reasons for using this platform for simulation, discusses why this is frequently an efficient way to build simulation models and execute them, describes how to setup a spreadsheet
