Simulation of an algorithm: computer ( computor ) language: Knuth advises the reader that " the best way to learn an algorithm is to try it.

: In Simulacra and Simulation, introduced the concept that reality or the principle of the " real " is short-circuited by the interchangeability of signs in an era whose communicative and semantic acts are dominated by electronic media and digital technologies.

The term real-time derives from its use in early simulation, where a real-world process is simulated at a rate that matched that of the real process ( now called Real-time Simulation to avoid ambiguity ).

( A DR Election Detail Simulation shows a step-by-step DR election example: How neighbor list, neighbor state, DR, and BDR are changed when receiving Hello ) The DR is elected based on the following default criteria:

Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time.

Simulation is used in many contexts, such as simulation of technology for performance optimization, safety engineering, testing, training, education, and video games.

Simulation is also used with scientific modelling of natural systems or human systems to gain insight into their functioning.

Simulation is also used when the real system cannot be engaged, because it may not be accessible, or it may be dangerous or unacceptable to engage, or it is being designed but not yet built, or it may simply not exist.

Simulation is an important feature in engineering systems or any system that involves many processes.

For more sophisticated simulations Discrete Event Simulation ( DES ) is used with the advantages to simulate dynamics in the production system.

Simulation is used at Kennedy Space Center ( KSC ) to train and certify Space Shuttle engineers during simulated launch countdown operations.

Simulation sickness, or simulator sickness, is a condition where a person exhibits symptoms similar to motion sickness caused by playing computer / simulation / video games.

It is part of the Advanced Simulation and Computing Program running nuclear simulations and advanced scientific research.

It is a collaborative effort, developed by Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratories, and the United States Army Research Laboratory, and funded by the Advanced Simulation and Computing Program.

* MD simulation of the complete satellite tobacco mosaic virus ( STMV ) ( 2006, Size: 1 million atoms, Simulation time: 50 ns, program: NAMD ) This virus is a small, icosahedral plant virus which worsens the symptoms of infection by Tobacco Mosaic Virus ( TMV ).

* HP ARIES ( Automatic Re-translation and Integrated Environment Simulation ) is a dynamic binary translation system that combines fast code interpretation with two phase dynamic translation to transparently and accurately execute HP 9000 HP-UX applications on HP-UX 11i for HP Integrity servers.

* Multi-Agent Based Simulation ( MABS ): a branch of DAI that builds the foundation for simulations that need to analyze not only phenomena at macro level but also at micro level, as it is in many social simulation scenarios.

Simulation gaming is a tool for thinking through the ramifications of a particular strategy.

It is relevant to the Simulation hypothesis in that it illustrates how a simulation could contain conscious subjects, as required by a " virtual people " simulation.

Both the dream argument and the Simulation hypothesis can be regarded as skeptical hypotheses ; however in raising these doubts, just as Descartes noted that his own thinking led him to be convinced of his own existence, the existence of the argument itself is testament to the possibility of its own truth.

A structured tnternational doctoral programme, “ THESIS – Complex Processes in the Earth: Theory, Experiment and Simulation ,” is also offered within the scope of the Elite Network of Bavaria.

Another type of league that allows for year round fantasy football is called Simulation Football.

Simulation of gravitational lens ing by a black hole, which distorts the image of a galaxy in the background (: File: BlackHole Lensing. gif | larger animation )

Three of the antagonists in the 1998 movie The Big Lebowski are explicitly described as " nihilists ;" and the 1999 film The Matrix portrays the character Thomas A. Anderson with a hollowed out copy of Baudrillard's treatise, Simulacra and Simulation, in which he stores contraband data files under the chapter " On Nihilism.

** Advanced Continuous Simulation Language ( ACSL ), which supports textual or graphical model specification

Simulation games use computer programs, processing actual MLB player statistics, to generate results for contests matching teams composed of MLB players ‘ drafted ’ by ‘ owners .’ This is thought to produce an experience which is more akin to that of being a real general manager.

This was due to Dragon Quests North American name being changed due to a trademark conflict with the role-playing game DragonQuest, which was published by Simulation Publications in the 1980s until the company's bankruptcy in 1982 and purchase by TSR, Inc., which then published it as an alternate line to Dungeons & Dragons until 1987.

Forth Dimension Displays have a Ferroelectric LCoS display technology ( known as TDI ) ( available in SXGA and 720P resolutions ) which is mainly, but not exclusively, used in high resolution NTE applications such as Training & Simulation.

Two important assets of the nursing school are its Simulation and Standardized Patient Nursing Laboratory which opened in 2002, and the Master's Entry Program of Nursing ( MEPN ) The MEPN program allows students who already possess a bachelor's degree in another field but want to get into nursing the opportunity to take an accelerated program to earn a master's degree in clinical nursing.

Armored Core games are Mecha Simulation / third-person shooters, in which the player pilots a large mecha called an Armored Core, or AC for short.

The game, marketed as " The Stunt Flying and Filming Simulation ", provides an island which contains a number of different sets, such as a city, an oil rig, a canyon, and an aircraft carrier.

In their work Simulation Mosaik Data Klaenge from 1993, they experimented with so called intelligent agent, applications which can conglomerate diaphanous information by themselves ( also called knowbots ) and intelligent virtual spaces ( flexible information-environments distributed in electronic networks ).

In 2000, filmmakers Jeff Economy and Darren Hacker produced the documentary film ... An Incredible Simulation, which examined the tribute band phenomenon.

In case of any exceptional situations, which are programmed on the directive of the Simulation Specialist ( SS ), the VOMAS agents can report them.

As such, at present Agent-based Modeling and Simulation is the only paradigm which allows the simulation of even complex behavior in the environments of Wireless sensors ( such as flocking ).

* HarTech Technologies A company that provides both Simulation and Command and Control solutions which are all based on a unique Blackboard architecture.

* Policy Simulation Model, a static microsimulation model which encapsulates the tax and benefits system, and population, of Great Britain

Dragon Quests North American name had been changed due to a trademark conflict with the pen-and-paper role-playing game DragonQuest, published by wargame publisher Simulation Publications in the 1980s, until the company's bankruptcy in 1982 and purchase by TSR, Inc., which then published it as an alternate line to Dungeons & Dragons until 1987.

* Composed of several groups dedicated to " Policy Informatics ", the largest of which is Network Dynamics and Simulation Science Laboratory ( NDSSL )

In 1973, Illinois State University, under a program to fund educational innovation, created SimRAD ( Simulation Research, Analysis, and Design ), which designed games for implementation in the college classroom.

Simulation is an approach which can be used to model large, complex stochastic systems for forecasting or performance measurement purposes.

* Simulation tests: these are based on movements which produce pain, without actually causing that movement, such as axial loading and pain on simulated rotation

In Calibrated Simulation is Storytelling she writes that one way to describe scientific theories is how mechanically mathematical they are: at the one end lie such hypotheses as Newtonian celestial mechanics which can be reduced entirely to equations-at the other are important works such as The Origin of Species which are " entirely historical and devoid of mathematical models ".
