SIMULATION WITH DIGITAL COMPUTERS,
Abstract
Operational verification of large scale simulations is usually impossible; if validity is claimed, it must be on the basis of logic and philosophy. Four recent generalized approaches to simulation are examined; they differ in implementation but not materially in concepts. They make little special provision for human participants, for which additional concepts are needed: in particular, sensor characteristics and the contrast between the perceived and the true universes. This paper proposes a generalized model for systems involving human beings, and suggests piecewise validation of model components. (Author)
