Subtopic: simulate real world 
| Quote: Smalltalk's heritage is simulation; the description and simulation of real-world models as computer models [»goldA10_1995]
| | Quote: a Smalltalk user should be able to rapidly change the conceptual model of a system without strong technical skills; needed for simulation [»goldA10_1995]
| | Quote: abstraction was successful in Simula because started with simulating the real world [»nygaK10_1983]
| | Quote: instead of abstracting physical processes into mathematics, simulate the process with a model [»nygaK10_1983, OK]
| | Quote: simulate a hospital's x-ray business, routing, and elevator service [»lickJC5_1962]
|
Subtopic: microworld, model, universal
| Quote: a microworld is a well-defined, limited world with interesting events and educational ideas; e.g., blocks world [»goldEP8_1982]
| | Quote: a computer is a universal medium in that it can simulate any other medium [»kayA3_1977]
| | Quote: Simula designed as a language for system description, understanding, and simulation [»nygaK10_1986]
| | Quote: simulation is the central notion of Dynabook [»kayA3_1977]
|
Subtopic: queuing network
| Quote: a queuing network can predict device utilization and throughput to 5% error [»dennPJ_1980]
|
Subtopic: animation
| Quote: use Sketchpad to animate a face or pedal a bike [»suthIE5_1963]
|
Subtopic: spreadsheet
| Quote: use publish-subscribe spreadsheets with 10-20 conversations behind each published calculation; 11-519 parameters per subsystem; thousands of underlying calculations [»markG6_2002]
|
Subtopic: model simulation for testing
| Quote: SPIN's simulation mode finds the most bugs; random choice at each turn; users rarely find rare bugs
|
Subtopic: robotic simulation
| Quote: off-line programming system of robots via a graphical simulation instead of actual robot and workcell [»craiJJ4_1987]
| | Quote: robot simulation particularly useful for testing synchronization and signaling among multiple devices [»craiJJ4_1987]
|
Subtopic: circuit simulation
| Quote: worth drawing a circuit in Sketchpad if could also simulate the circuit [»suthIE5_1963]
|
Subtopic: factory simulation
| Quote: the ARKola factory consists of nine machines for making bottled cola from raw ingredients; simple to understand but difficult to do, also fun [»gaveWW4_1991]
| | Quote: the Recovery Boiler Tutor uses graphs for process parameters, meters for safety, efficiency, etc., and interactive dialogues [»woolB8_1986]
| | Quote: during a simulated emergency, there are a large number of potential actions; as the problem worsens, there are actions that should be taken [»woolB8_1986]
| | Quote: the Recovery Boiler Tutor encourages the generation and testing of hypotheses about an emergency [»woolB8_1986]
| | Quote: in industrial training, the trainee must learn to evaluate performance through feedback from the controlled process [»woolB8_1986]
| | Quote: the Recovery Boiler Tutor is used like an actual control panel; both experienced and novice operators engage in lively use after 1/2 hour intro [»woolB8_1986]
| | Quote: simulate the recovery boiler in real time but allow the student to stop the process to further develop a mental model [»woolB8_1986]
|
Subtopic: physical simulation
| Quote: a realistic, interactive paint model; a brush is a spring-mass particle system skeleton; models the physical flow of paint and its optical properties; easier to use [»linMC8_2004]
|
Subtopic: simulate programs
| Quote: simulate programs for teaching, programming style, and debugging [»lickJC5_1962]
|
Subtopic: constraint network
| Quote: a constraint is a subroutine yielding a scalar that should be zero; use one pass method or relaxation; e.g., can analyze force distribution of a pin connected truss [»suthIE5_1963]
|
Subtopic: random sequences
| Quote: describes a set of software tools for generating multiple sequences of random numbers; needed for simulation [»lecuP3_1991]
|
Subtopic: reporting
