No. We do not think the perfect virtual world (VW) has been built yet. Also, we don’t think that anything currently in development comes close either. We do think that it is important for new worlds to be created, but we fear that the VW sector will suffer many of the same problems that are being encountered in the Massively Multi-Player Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) market. Mainly, that a significant amount of venture funding will be spent on…

Chaos Simulation is a term given to a specific area of computer simulations, which focuses primarily on the creation and presentation of theoretical situations and scenarios. However, what makes Chaos simulations stand apart from all other computer simulation fields, is the vast scope of variables that are taken into account.
In a recent interview with a simulations developer who primarily worked on chaos simulations, they explained the difference between regular computer simulations - whose variables take into account random events and chaos simulations - whose variables theoretically take into account every possible event. “Randomness is like picking a number between… ]]>
So, let’s take an example. A military council debates a force-strike on a location they know to be occupied by hostile forces. By using simulation science, variables may be inputted into the system,… ]]>

These are all legitimate questions, and the success of the simulation project depends on careful selection at this stage.
I liken it to a bridge being built on two sides of a river. On the one side you have scientists with an amazing array of tools for answering very complex questions. On the other side you have business people with a… ]]>
System Dynamics ‘Structure’ is a hierarchy of objects assembled in the following process:
A. You define the boundary of the system.
1. You identify the feedback loops.
a. You identify the stocks
b. You identify the flows
1. You articulate the policies as flow equations
Note that two variables, stocks and flows, capture ALL the aspects of… ]]>
