A virtual textbook for modeling and simulation
T. Wiedemann · 2002
The theory of modeling and simulation is well defined as a result of about 30 years of research and practice. There are commonly accepted approaches and methods of working out successful simulation studies. The educational aspects of simulation are very complicated: there is no common accepted curriculum, nor a basic textbook. The situation with the Web is much worse (mainly as a result of missing time-resources): the quality of the teaching material concerning simulation is very heterogeneous and does not fit well. Often the work of producing teaching materials and exercises is done twice. The goal of the paper is to present a real working database system for managing links and generating collections of simulation related material for teaching and learning purposes.
