Simulation is a technique that can be viewed as all things to all people, It is surprising, sometimes even alarming, that so many diverse studies are carried on under the general term of 'simulation.' More disturbing is the fact that so little communications appears to exist between the practitioners in one area and those in another. "Man in the loop" simulations seem to be conducted without regard to the simulation of individual and group decision making behavior conducted by psychologists and sociologists. Techniques in Monte Carlo applications seem never to find acceptance, or perhaps awareness, in simulation of urban systems. The simulation of continuous systems exists as a totally separate entity from those working in the discrete event systems, and the effort of those seeking to bring the two together seem to offer little promise for immediate results. We suggest that the lack of communication among practitioners of simulation stems from the lack of a unifying structure or theory leading to an understanding and acceptance of the technique 'digital simulation.'
