Creator Sathianandan, T V
 
Subject Computer simulations
 
Description Computer simulation is the discipline of designing a model of an actual or theoretical
physical system, executing the model on a digital computer, and analyzing the execution
output. Simulation embodies the principle of ``learning by doing'' - to learn about the
system we must first build a model of some sort and then operate the model. The use of
simulation is an activity that is as natural as a child who role-plays. Children understand the
world around them by simulating (with toys and figurines) most of their interactions with
other people, animals and objects. As adults, we lose some of this childlike behavior but
recapture it later on through computer simulation. To understand reality and all of its
complexity, we must build artificial objects and dynamically act out roles with them.
Computer simulation is the electronic equivalent of this type of role-playing and it serves to
drive synthetic environments and virtual worlds.
