Preferred term

computer simulations  

Definition(s)

  • Computer simulation uses the computational and storage capacity of computers to model complex and dynamic systems of behaviors. In a typical application, a model of group process includes: agents (group members) who act and interact; attributes that describe these agents; behaviors that the agents can display (behavioral repertoire); and functional rules that specify how agents' attributes affect their behaviors and how other agents' behaviors affect these attributes.
