Authors:   Tuncer Ören, Francesco Longo

Abstract

Two major categories of usages of simulation are highlighted. They are (1) providing experience for three types of training and entertainment and (2) performing experiments. Several characteristics of emergence are reviewed, especially within the framework of the simulation of social systems and lists of over 30 terms related with emergence as well as over 20 types of emergences are given as appendices.
