The Future of Simulation

Abstract

This short paper outlines some of the author's thoughts on the future of simulation. After a brief motivation for the article and a recounting of the history of simulation, four major themes are explored: convergent simulations, serious games and simulation, human-simulator interfaces, and computing technology. The article concludes with a vision of what a future simulation might be.
