Periodic Table of Simulation
We all learned our chemical elements from the Periodic Table. That curiously arranged graph of elements showed the relationships between the elements and many of their fundamental properties.
Imagine applying that same method to simulation. What are the fundamental elements of simulation? How would you arrange them for meaning in a Periodic Table? Would such a tool be a useful way to convey the core information about our industry?
I have been in this industry for 20 years and have developed a personal mental organization of the core topics. But that is a secret map inside of my head that I have never tried to extract and capture in a concrete form. I think new entrants into this field would find such a Periodic Table extremely useful.
One group has applied the Periodic Table of Elements to the graphical presentation of information. It is one example of how this might be done.
