Reflects upon the limitations and possible consequences of indiscriminate use of simulation as a learning device, particularly in terms of humanistic values. (JS)

A brief review of a book on simulation games and a description of an actual game. (JF)

One of the major problems in simulation is knowing how accurately the simulation corresponds to the actual. This paper discusses the problems of validation -- the process of measuring the accuracy of simulation. (RA)

Reviews five journals on simulation and gaming that are published in North America and the United Kingdom and suggests that there is a problem of subject redundancy in articles among and within the journals. (CMV)

The innovative technology of simulations and games offers an attractive alternative for satellite transmission programing. They can help provide programs that involve the participants and make maximum use of the unique characteristics of long-distance transmission. (Author/JEG)

EIGHTY-FOUR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, AND TEACHERS PARTICIPATED IN THE EXPERIMENT AT TWO WORKSHOPS AND ONE SEMINAR ON THE UNIVERSITY…

The computer programing language APL is used to describe a "learning" game, and the functions developed are generalized to extend to a class of rules. (Author/WH)

This paper uses a formulation involving concepts of pure, mixed, and mutual accommodation bargaining. The formulation draws on concepts used in game theory, labor negotiations, and theories of conflict resolution; and a number of vaiables are examined in an effort to make sense out of collective negotiations. A changing utility model is developed…

A bibliography which attempts to pull together gaming literature from various fields for the use of city planners is presented. It contains samples from fields related to city planning, especially administration and education. It includes references to simulation, decision-making theory, etc. (Author/CK)
