Simulation: Pragmatic Constructions of Reality

by Johannes Lenhard (editor), Günter Küppers (Editor), Terry Shinn (Editor)

This book examines the historical roots and evolution of simulation from an epistemological, institutional and technical perspective. Rich case studies go far beyond documentation of simulation’s capacity for application in many domains; they also explore the "functional" and "structural" debate that continues to traverse simulation thought and action. This book is an essential contribution to the assessment of simulation as scientific instrument.
