Network simulation

communication protocols involving live network tests, hardware emulation, test-beds and mathematical models. Software simulation, since, is usually a time effective and cost efficient method. Researchers around the globe are utilizing software simulation tools because it offers a controlled atmosphere within which any network model performance can be measured easily and efficiently. Nowadays, the popularity of the available network simulators and specifically that of Ad Hoc networks varies from one simulator to another. Besides, each simulator depends on its own methodology and models to model a real network. Whereas several network simulators exist in the software…

creation - the early versions of the ultimate in Star Trek holodeck simulations - is the name of the virtual reality game. Of course you already experience virtual reality 24/7/52. Anything and everything you experience is courtesy of your sensory apparatus, your memories, and your overall state of being as a conscious, self-aware being. If all reality is experienced solely within your mind then you already exist in a virtual reality 'world'. That's especially the case when you dream. That could…

In the article Superman to the Rescue: Simulating Physical Invulnerability Attenuates Exclusion-Related Interpersonal Biases (Ackerman, Bargh, & Huan, 2013) Julie Huan, Joshua Ackerman, and John Bargh set up a number of studies including a pre-test, study one, study two, and study three to demonstrate the relation between physical invulnerability simulation and positive or negative reactions to being excluded in social situations. They also consider how the reactions of exclusion can change when…

Simulation Theory “There’s a one in billions chance we’re in base reality,” claims Elon Musk, product architect of Tesla Inc., founder of SpaceX, and more. In recent years, the simulation-argument has gained serious traction as we further advance technologically, and intellectually. However, not everyone is on board with the “simulation argument”—a term coined by Nick Bostrom (Philosophy Professor at Oxford University) when he published a journal stating: [A]t least one of the following…

This article talks about the many advancements for wilderness setting simulations like the SimMan to provide an effective tool for learning certain wilderness medicine skills that were not available before and provide the best available care for the patient who is injured and needs help. It also will help the person performing the type of medical help to make them feel more comfortable with difficult and challenging situations. As stated in the article it says that they will be able to properly…

Something that I felt was very insightful was Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, which analysees how we experience reality through signs and symbols and that because we use signs and symbols so heavily, our experience in life can be viewed as a simulation of reality. [Baudrillard, 1981]. In the Oxford English Dictionary, simulation is defined as "the action or practice of simulating, with an intent to deceive." In comparison simulacrum is defined as "a material image, made as a…

The advantages of the use of simulation includes, among others, the reduction of expenditures shifts to the training camps increasingly restricted as well as the transit of troops on the ground, reducing the accident risks. It also provides the economy with the maintenance of logistics activity, the reduction of damage to the military use of material garrisons still in teaching-learning process and the increased time available with the material at hand for the conservation activity; and the…

the control group with the simulation of being able to fly that recalled a time where they were excluded had an increased desire to contact friends than those that had the simulation of flight but rather only recalled the last meal they ate. The participants who has the experience of being excluded with the simulation of being invulnerable had a large disinterest in contacting their friends did the people with exclusion flight group. For the groups that had invulnerability with either recalling…

to death or physical harm. Huang, Ackerman, and Barg hypothesized that alleviating the foundational concerns with danger could lessen people’s need to cope with exclusion. This hypothesis is the main theory of the paper. The three studies preformed help show how physical invulnerability simulation can lessen good and bad reactions to social exclusion. The three studies help support whether or not the authors hypothesis is correct or not. Truly, each of the three studies either support or do not…

Introduction Simulations have been considered as powerful tools as they give us the ability to develop and nurture our management capabilities in a controlled environment. This is achieved through our ability to attempt a real-world process or system knowing we can go back on mistakes that have been made in order to better familiarise ourselves with the situation which lead to better results in any future runs. However, simulations do have a downfall in that they are merely just a representation…
