Simulations Publications - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Simulations Publications, Inc., often abbreviated to SPI, was an American publisher of board wargames in the 1970s and early 1980s. It produced many games that were considered good and innovative, as well as just many games period, and changed the course of the wargaming hobby with its bid to take control of the hobby away from then-dominant Avalon Hill. With the quick collapse of the wargame market, TSR published fewer and fewer simulation games and eventually all the magazines (except for Strategy and Tactics) were discontinued. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Simulations_Publications   (793 words)

Simulations: For The Classroom: Education: U.S. Institute of Peace Simulations are educational exercises that provide students the opportunity to "role-play" the concerns of stakeholders in a given scenario. This simulation focuses on a conflict in the territory of "Palmyra" in the fictional country of "Siwa." The aim of the simulation is to demonstrate for the participants some of the challenges facing peacemakers in their efforts to resolve violent international conflicts. The simulation deals with a specific issue in the Northern Ireland conflict: that of the marches which serve as a microcosm of the larger conflict between Catholics and Protestants. www.usip.org /class/simulations   (513 words)

Machining of Ceramics Simulations are also conducted at depths ranging from 1micron to 40microns and at rake angles varying from 0 to -60 deg. These simulations are made at speed of 300m/min and the temperatures reach the melting point of the workpiece. To study this behavior simulations are conducted on GS-44 silicon nitride at depths 1micron,5microns and 10microns at 0deg.,-15deg.,-30deg.,-45deg., and -60deg. www.coe.uncc.edu /~hcheruku/machining/Simulations.html   (470 words)

CAST: Virtual Reality/Simulations Computer simulations are computer-generated versions of real-world objects (for example, asky scraper or chemical molecules) or processes (for example, population growth or biological decay). Specifically, three presentation methods were analyzed (a) computer simulations with pairs of students working on one computer, (b) computer simulation with an entire class, and (c) a game type simulation without a computer, all conditions were studied in classrooms of sixth grade students. The focus of this research was to determine the effects of instruction using microcomputer simulations and conceptual change strategies for 74 students in high school and freshmen year of college. www.cast.org /publications/ncac/ncac_vr.html   (9188 words)

CAST: Virtual Reality/Simulations with UDL This discussion of virtual reality, computer simulations, and UDL begins with an introduction to these two technologies (presenting a definition and sampling of different types and a consideration of their curriculum applications) and a discussion of the research evidence for their effectiveness. Computer simulations are computer-generated versions of real-world objects (for example, a sky scraper or chemical molecules) or processes (for example, population growth or biological decay). A student could construct a simulation to demonstrate his or her ability to apply algebra to real-life situations or to predict the outcome of a bacterial growth experiment or viral outbreak. www.cast.org /publications/ncac/ncac_vrudl.html   (11132 words)

Online training simulation creation tools and developers Of course, simulations have been around for many years in a variety of forms, from large scale flight simulators, to role-playing simulations in the classroom, to computer delivered simulations, and, most recently, high fidelity simulations that can be delivered through cyberspace. Many organizations tell us that they’d like to use advanced e-learning simulations as part of their blended curriculum, but they feel that the barriers to entry (such as high cost and difficulty of creating simulations on their own) are simply too prohibitive. Section VII – Simulation Products and Services Section Tool: If you would like to filter your selection process by choosing a set of parameters (such as simulation products that have been interoperability tested with a specific LMS or a vendor who specializes in simulation development for healthcare companies), this is the tool to use. www.brandon-hall.com /publications/simkb/simkb_method.shtml   (1481 words)

Vikram Dwarkadas's Research on Planetary Nebulae Simulations: John Blondin has animated the hydro simulations that were presented in this paper. Abstract:We have carried out simulations of planetary nebulae (PNs) within the general framework of the interacting stellar winds models, wherein the fast wind from a central star sweeps up the slow wind emitted in a previous epoch. Our two-dimensional simulations take into account the evolution of the velocity and mass-loss rate of the fast wind. astro.uchicago.edu /~vikram/pne.html   (607 words)

Simulated crack patterns were obtained for a real material, using this technique, which appear quite realistic. www.bfrl.nist.gov /861/vcctl/conc97/art009.html   (190 words)

Simulations Canada - www.canadiansoldiers.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) Simulations Canada was a wargame company that released a variety of titles, and was notable for releasing games on Canadian subjects. The company was formed in Jan 1977; at the time only The Avalon Hill Game Company, Simulations Publications, Inc., and Game Designer's Workshop were considered serious competitors in the growing wargame industry. Simulations Canada offered an eclectic mix of subject matter in their games, though the majority of titles tended to be simple 2-player historical simulations. www.canadiansoldiers.com /mediawiki-1.5.5/index.php?title=Simulations_Canada   (494 words)

Recent Publications & Conference Presentations Based on an analysis of the literature, (on simulation design) the general usage of object-orientated programming is questioned and it is concluded that, despite the benefits, object-orientated design is not advocated in the (simulation design) literature. Beginning with a review of what computer simulations are and why organizations use them for management development, it explores what is required for their successful use. This exploration uses, as a case study, the development of a computer simulation architecture that recently won an innovation award and is being used to reduce simulation development times by some eighty percent while incorporating leading-edge learning delivery paradigms. www.simulations.co.uk /DESIGN09.HTM   (2153 words)

Middle-earth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) The world (Ambar) was originally flat but was made round near the end of the Second Age by Eru Ilúvatar, the Creator. In these cases, this article is based on the version of the Middle-earth legendarium that is considered canonical by most Tolkien fans, as discussed under Middle-earth canon. Years after publication, Tolkien postulated in a letter that the action of the books takes place roughly 6,000 years ago, though he was not certain. middle-earth.iqnaut.net   (4987 words)

SPI Compendium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) Simulations Publications, Inc., or SPI, was a publisher of wargames, science fiction and fantasy boardgames, and roleplaying games that went bankrupt in 1982, with most of its assets passing to TSR, Inc., the publishers of Dungeons and Dragons. It is nearly complete, but a few bits of information are missing; if you'd like to help, click here for a list of what I still need to know. They were extracted from mentions in the magazines, and may be off by a few months from actual publication dates, as when the magazines went to press you weren't always sure exactly whether a game would hit its ship date. www.costik.com /spicom   (370 words)

A Guadalcanal Chronology & Order of Battle The original basis of the chronological table, however, was the Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) wargame "Bloody Ridge, Turning Point on Guadalcanal, September 1942" (in "Island War, Four Pacific Battles," Simulations Publications, Inc., 1975). The 70's were the golden age of board wargaming, and Simulations Publications was the leader. Nevertheless, the American public was far more incensed about Japan than about Germany and was eager for news of American attacks, after many months of American forces being defeated and captured in the Philippines, and on Wake and Guam. www.friesian.com /history/guadal.htm   (3885 words)
