Simulation- Infotech in global economy

Chapter -Simulation – (InfoTech in a global economy) Simulation quality depends on simulation process

Three different simulation views

Standard:

*Verification - Validation - Do the outputs resemble observations of the target?

* Relies on the observability of reality - Must be able to compare simulation output to reality

*Standard view may suffer from under-determination -Multiple incompatible theories may result from the same data

Constructionist:

• Compares -What you observe in the real world with, - What you observe as simulation output

• Seems similar to Standard view, right? -Constructionists view all observations as constructions

• Evaluation is not possible - Even observations of reality lack the ability to pass validation

User community:

• Evaluation is carried out - Using the observations of the affected user community

• Not just based on prior knowledge

• Closer to “real” results

• Often, results are influenced by multiple related factors
