Abstract

This paper explains how distributed, interactive computing can be used to assist decision makers to investigate alternative courses of action in complex, dynamic businesses and policy environments. The military\'s use of computer-generated synthetic battlefields for training is the metaphor; the creation of synthetic economies within which to practice policy and management prerogatives is the goal. Wxposition proceeds by example, while methodological excursions and underlying theory are provided in supporting appendices.
