Sandia National Laboratories is investing in projects that aim to develop computational modeling and simulation … applications that explore human cognitive and social phenomena. While some of these modeling and simulation projects are explicitly …-making. This raises the issue of how to evaluate computational modeling and simulation applications in both research and applied …
