4.Research fields use simulators to test reactions to
hypothetical situations.The findings
from the model are used to validate the hypothesis or to improve it.Research areas such as communications and
the functioning of the organization whether in business or in the military
are covered in this topic.
5.The work by Joseph Deasy (2002) and his team used Monte
Carlo statistical methods to pinpoint the amount of radiation that was
necessary and safe in the treatment of certain cancers.The model is certainly a lot safer than the
exposure to actual radiation.
6.Entertainment – no survey of gaming and simulation could be
complete without the entertainment games.There is hardly a young American today (of any age) that has not
played on a Nintendo Game cube, X-box, Playstation, Gameboy Advanced, or
visited a video arcade.There are
almost no users of Microsoft Windowsthat hasn’t found the Solitaire game.Of course the amount of lost productivity and the loss of creative
play by youths can be debated.That’s
for another paper, at another time!
