  2. Simulacra and Simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacra_and_Simulation

    Simulacra and Simulation (French: Simulacres et Simulation) is a 1981 philosophical treatise by the philosopher and cultural theorist Jean Baudrillard, in which he seeks to examine the relationships between reality, symbols, and society, in particular the significations and symbolism of culture and media involved in constructing an understanding of shared existence.

  3. Simulacrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacrum

    A simulacrum (pl.: simulacra or simulacrums, from Latin simulacrum, meaning "likeness, semblance") is a representation or imitation of a person or thing. [1] The word was first recorded in the English language in the late 16th century, used to describe a representation, such as a statue or a painting, especially of a god .

  4. Modeling and simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modeling_and_simulation

    Modeling and simulation are important in research. Representing the real systems either via physical reproductions at smaller scale, or via mathematical models that allow representing the dynamics of the system via simulation, allows exploring system behavior in an articulated way which is often either not possible, or too risky in the real world.

  5. Simulation hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis

    The simulation hypothesis proposes that what we experience as the world is actually a simulated reality, such as a computer simulation in which we ourselves are constructs. [1] [2] There has been much debate over this topic in the philosophical discourse, and regarding practical applications in computing.

  6. Scientific modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_modelling

    A simulation is a way to implement the model, often employed when the model is too complex for the analytical solution. A steady-state simulation provides information about the system at a specific instant in time (usually at equilibrium, if such a state exists). A dynamic simulation provides information over time.

    A 48-hour computer simulation of Typhoon Mawar using the Weather Research and Forecasting model Process of building a computer model, and the interplay between experiment, simulation, and theory Computer simulation is the running of a mathematical model on a computer , the model being designed to represent the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a ...

  8. Design of experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_of_experiments

    The use of a sequence of experiments, where the design of each may depend on the results of previous experiments, including the possible decision to stop experimenting, is within the scope of sequential analysis, a field that was pioneered [12] by Abraham Wald in the context of sequential tests of statistical hypotheses. [13]

  9. Biosimulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosimulation

    Biosimulation is becoming increasingly important for drug development. [1] Since on average only 11% of all drug candidates are approved, [2] it is anticipated that biosimulation may be the tool to predict whether a candidate drug will fail in the development process e.g. in clinical trials due to adverse side effects, bad pharmacokinetics or even toxicity.
