Simulation in corporate decision making: then and now
Article Abstract:
We present the results of a 1985 study, which replicates a 1985 study by Cox, Ledbetter, and Smith (1977), and attempt to measure the use of simulation modeling to support decision-making in major U.S. corporation. Specifically, the purposes of the paper are (1) measure the development and use of simulation models at all levels of decision-making (operational, tactical, and strategic); (2) examine the use of simulation within each functional area; (3) identify specific application areas within each functional area where simulation is being used; and (4) compare this study's results with those from the Cox, Ledbetter, and Smith (1977) study.

HeartLab: a multi-mode simulation for teaching cardiac auscultation
Article Abstract:
A threaded interpretive language (TIL), Forth, was utilized to implement HeartLab, a simulation-based program designed to teach medical students the essentials of the auscultatory cardiac exam. The simulation output, high-resolution bit-mapped graphics coupled with realistic, computer-generated heart sounds, makes full use of the Apple Macintosh sound and graphics capabilities. Multimode simulation of this type and construction of an appropriate patient model create a number of design challenges for which this approach proved to be particularly well suited.
