Simulation Techniques.

Murray A. Geisler

Expert InsightsPublished 1959

A talk presented before the International Air Transport Association at Paris, France, September 4, 1959, which discusses how the Air Force is attempting to substitute better management for larger resource expenditures. Simulation is shown as a powerful planning tool. Its design, construction, and use requires the application of many skills. Some of the complex requirements of this work are a knowledge of the real-world environment, mathematical training to design simulation models, accounting people and others to provide data for the model, computing people to program and compute with the models, and analysts to interpret the results and control the experiment.
