One area experiencing rapid growth in the use of computers in recent years is simulation. Simulations are used for training in procedures that would be too dangerous or expensive to perform in real life. Some simulations are even used for routine and...

Space explorers venture into the unknown. But the support crews of the space explorers do their best to send their imagination, analysis, and scientific knowledge ahead. Simulation has always been an integral part not only of astronaut training but...

One of the most fancy and cutting-edge applications of computer technology is in the building of simulations that emulate the behavior of real-life or theoretical systems or situations. Such simulations can serve a variety of purposes such as training...

A teaching method in which an actual situation is recreated in the teaching and learning process so that learners can have opportunity to experience the situation and practise their understanding of the way that they should act in that situation before...

A simulation is an imitation of some real thing, state of affairs, or process. The act of simulating something generally entails representing certain key characteristics or behaviours of a selected physical or abstract system. Historically, the word had...

Modern industrial process analysis involves the use of microcomputer simulation. Several packages in the market can be used to model and animate complex system-level industrial processes. Industrial managers have only recently begun to recognize the potential uses of industrial management simulators, which focus on...

Dynamic simulation has been used to successfully simulate a wide variety of off-road commercial and military vehicles and predict mobility, stability, safety, and operating loads of the complete system. These tools allow engineers to predict the machine system behavior under various conditions and...

More than 85 federal and local law enforcement agencies kicked off a two-day exercise Wednesday to prepare for a possible mass migration from the Caribbean, such as might occur following a change in government in Cuba.Officials declined to provide details about the exercises, citing security...

If you have planetary vision, want to be on the cutting edge and don't get bored easily, the European Space Agency may be looking for you. It is looking for 12 volunteers for a simulated mission to Mars that will last up to 520 days...
