Also, we don’t think that anything currently in development comes close either. We do think that it is important for new worlds to be created, but we fear that the VW sector will suffer many of the same problems that are being encountered in the Massively Multi-Player Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) market. Mainly, that a significant amount of venture funding will be spent on… 2011-05-18T07:49:44+00:00 http://simudyne.com/site/blog/what_are_sample_outputs_from_a_whiteboard_session http://simudyne.com/site/blog/what_are_sample_outputs_from_a_whiteboard_session#When:10:15:10Z In a whiteboard session we explore the problem at hand with individuals who have a deep knowledge of that problem. We start by asking simple what, when, why, and how questions then translate the responses into a graphical form.  Often the depiction then raises more questions, which lead to refinement of the system’s depiction.  After that dialogue, we then have a better sense of the problem, how it can be modeled, what data to input to it, and how long it might take to build the model.  This outcome even helps to clarify the issues whether or not a… 2011-05-12T10:15:10+00:00 http://simudyne.com/site/blog/what_is_chaos_simulation http://simudyne.com/site/blog/what_is_chaos_simulation#When:06:28:52Z Chaos Simulation is a term given to a specific area of computer simulations, which focuses primarily on the creation and presentation of theoretical situations and scenarios. However, what makes Chaos simulations stand apart from all other computer simulation fields, is the vast scope of variables that are taken into account. In a recent interview with a simulations developer who primarily worked on chaos simulations, they explained the difference between regular computer simulations - whose variables take into account random events and chaos simulations - whose variables theoretically take into account every possible event. “Randomness is like picking a number between… 2011-05-12T06:28:52+00:00 http://simudyne.com/site/blog/computer_simulation_a_breakdown http://simudyne.com/site/blog/computer_simulation_a_breakdown#When:13:56:33Z Recently, more and more articles have appeared on various websites, articles and news reports, detailing advances and breakthroughs using computer simulations. One recent feature of this was a new generation of chaos simulations. These, in essence were simulation models that worked out every possible scenario and outcome, based on the parameters the user had input, and then presented the most likely results. This is slowly becoming a popular system within computer simulations, being used by a variety of government departments and commercial companies. The question many people are asking, however, is ‘What exactly is a computer simulation?’ and ‘how can… Blogging, 2011-05-09T13:56:33+00:00
