ROLE-PLAYING
A type of simulation in which persons (referred
to as actors or players), sometimes with the aid of computers,
act out roles as parts of the system being analyzed. For
example, experts in different fields may be called upon to
simulate the behavior (to predict the response) of specific
segments of a regional or national economy being studied. A
role-playing simulation in which the actors (players) act out
roles as decision makers is called gaming. In gaming, the
players usually have different and conflicting objectives (in
business gaming and war gaming, for example). The players may
act as individuals or may be combined into coalitions, or
opposing teams. (IIASA)
