Abstract
Simulation and gaming are becoming important words for social scientists and especially for the student of conflict and cooperation in the international field. In the natural sciences and technology the experiment has a predominant position in theory building, but in these disciplines the technique of simulation, i.e. the experiment with a model as a substitute for real experiments, has also increasing importance. Although simulation as a method in research has been available for nearly three decades, its value is only now generally acknowledged. Today it is hard to imagine further progress in some disciplines as e.g. in meteorology or acoustics without simulation.
