THE ON-LINE FIRING SQUAD SIMULATOR

Abstract

This memorandum describes a computer system designed both to investigate man/machine graphical communications and to find improved solutions for the firing squad synchronization problem. The system provides aids that allow the user to approach this problem by methods he might otherwise not attempt because of the tedious hand calculations required. Furthermore, the graphical nature of the system and the type of aids provided combine to influence significantly the attitude of the experimenter toward various solution approaches.
