Simulation and Computer Graphics

In these four pages, this paper can be neither a complete introduction nor a complete survey of the role of computer graphics in simulation. However, these examples drawn from the experience of the Naval Post graduate School computer laboratory will illustrate a wide class of applications which may suggest uses in other fields. The interested reader should refer to the January 1971 issue of SIMULATION (which was devoted entirely to computer graphics applications in simulation) and to the supplementary reading list at the end of this paper.
