Sustainability and simulation/gaming,
Special issue of Simulation & Gaming: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Theory, Practice and Research

With this special issue, to be published in 2013, we aim to provide the opportunity for authors to contribute original and unpublished articles that present the use of Simulation & Gaming for exploring social, economic, and environmental sustainability of human and natural systems. Simulation gaming can serve as a proactive anticipatory system to examine possibly unintended consequences of course of actions, as their impacts are amplified and are often unforeseeable due to complex interactions and emergence that permeate through the components of a complex interconnected system of systems. Multidisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome to address the problem of complex system sustainability. Guest Editors:

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Integrated economic, social, and environmental simulation games for sustainability
• Models of human factors and social dynamics in relation to human and
organizational enterprises
• Simulation games for decision support under uncertainty and long-term policy
analysis
• Metrics for proactive anticipation of unsustainable conditions and their solution
• Tools and techniques for assessing adaptability, resilience, and emergent behavior in
complex adaptive human and social systems
• Simulation gaming for disaster management and recovery
• Advanced methods and tools for testing of the resilience of proposed financial
regulations
• New ways of thinking for policy makers for predictability, control, and explanation
of complex adaptive phenomena
• New resource management paradigms investigated by M&S
• Data needs and validation of sustainability models and simulation games
• Synergy of software agents and simulation games, including agent-monitored
simulation games
