Title:  Wargaming In Support of Science and Technology Decision Making

Author: Paul W. Vebber,

Abstract: What technologies should be invested in? How should a portfolio of

technologies be diversified? What are the synergies between advanced

technologies? What are the implications of a new technology on current

infrastructure? These types of questions are of great importance when

developing new technologies. Gaming can complement analysis and simulation

to get at answers to these vexing problems. Innovations in such areas as

massively multiplayer online games, virtual worlds, collaboration

virtualization and resurgence manual game design have the potential to add

valuable tools to the operations analyst supporting future technology

decision-making.
