Abstract

Because of the needs of nuclear weapons development, Los Alamos has been a leader in physics-based computer modeling throughout its fifty-year history. Over the last decade we have developed detailed large-scale systems- level finite-event simulations, including people, for military engagements and campaigns. We have independently pioneered many object-oriented techniques. Our current research emphasizes simulations composed of intelligent actors. One current prototype activity is building a simulation of health care at the individual person level for the State of New Mexico. We are eager to share our extensive experience, methods and capabilities with the health care community.
