Computer simulation enables us to construct and test the dynamics of complex physical and biological systems as well as a wide variety of social processes and problems. This bibliography contains abstracts and annotations of over 150 publications of the Rand Corporation on the theory, design, and use of computer simulation. A first section lists…

Little, Dennis L. – 1970
Designed for the student of urban simulation, this paper offers definitions of "models"--conceptual or mathematics formulations of concrete things or of abstract relations between them--and of "simulation"--an act or process, conducted either by persons or devices, by which a model or a hierarchy of models is made to imitate reality. Six basic…

Hoggatt, Austin Curwood, Ed. – 1973
A record of the current state of the art of simulation and the major part it now plays in policy formation in large organizations is provided by these conference proceedings. The 40 papers presented reveal an emphasis on the applications of simulation. In addition, the abstracts of 28 papers submitted to a more informal "paper fair" are…

Peer reviewedPlanning for Higher Education, 1972
The findings and recommendations from a study of the use and effectiveness of computer simulation at seven institutions of higher education are summarized. Discusses purchase and implementation of a simulation model, experiences in implementation, means and methods of utilization, performance, and some recommendations for successful implementation…

Brack, Greg; And Others – 1994
With the exception of a few key writers, counselors largely ignore the benefits that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cognitive Psychology (CP) can bring to counseling. It is demonstrated that AI and CP can be integrated into the counseling literature. How AI and CP can offer new perspectives on information processing, cognition, and helping is…

Holloway, William H. – 1973
The need for planning in educational systems may be interpreted as the need to identify, prepare, and devise new or revised procedures through which explicit systemic goals may be realized. Usually such efforts have a specific time orientation. Planning is further related to policy in the sense that policy is a legitimized procedure or course of…

Stark, Edward A.; And Others – 1971
A simulation system capable of supporting human factors experiments in the development of military training devices is described. The first phase of the study consisted of (1) a review of tasks performed by the operators of different types of military simulation systems, (2) an analysis of problems experienced in the development of devices for…

Roman, Richard Allan – 1969
The Information System for Vocational Decisions (ISVD) places Boocock's (1967) Life Career Game in the core of its operating system. This paper considers the types of interaction that will be required of the system, and discusses the role that a career decision game might play in its total context. The paper takes an into-the-future look at the…

Braun, Ludwig – 1975
Prior to the relatively easy access to computers which began in the mid-1960's, simulation was a tool only of researchers. Even now, students are frequently excluded from direct laboratory experiences for many reasons. However, computer simulation can open up these experiences, providing a powerful teaching tool for individuals, for small and…

Churchill, Geoffrey – 1975
A brief case study of the resistance to technological change is presented using DOG, a small scale deterministic business game, as the example of technology. DOG, a decision mathematics game for the purpose of providing an environment for application of mathematical concepts, consists of assignments mostly utilizing matrix algebra but also some…
