MODELING AND SIMULATION BASICS
COURSE EXAM 2025 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
The Kriegspiel attempted to quantify which of the following aspects of wargaming? -
ANS Human elements such as time or fatigue
In the 1950s, the Naval War College contributed to the realm of strategic wargaming by
inventing which of the following? - ANS Naval Electronic Warfare Simulator (NEWS)
What major advancement contributed to the M&S community in the early 1960s? -
ANS Naval Electronic Warfare Simulator (NEWS)
Which of the following is considered to be the birth of distributed simulation? -
ANS Simulation Network (SIMNET)
Why is the ARPANET considered to be the foundation of the internet? - ANS ARPANET
provided a national C2 network that would continue to function even if individual notes are
destroyed in a nuclear war
Which of the following best describes the theory of Reductionism? - ANS The theory that
assumes the understanding of a system's behavior by studying the elements and their
interactions.
A system that consists of smaller systems that also act as individual elements is an example of
what type of hierarchy? - ANS Linear

, Which of the following statements best describes a variable? - ANS The flexible quantities
that change within a system.
Which of the following statements best describes a parameter? - ANS The constant elements
within a system.
Which of the following statements best describes a control function? - ANS The parameters
that are allowed to change in order to observe their effects on the system.
Which of the following statements describes process modeling? - ANS Graphic
representations modeling specific processes performed by a system.
What is chiefly responsible for displaying colors and sizes on a computer-displayed image? -
ANS Pixel
Youre participating in a simulation that looks outdated graphics wise. The objects lack detail
and do not accurately reflect what the objects look like in real life. What computer-display
element are you describing? - ANS Resolution
What type of simulation places users in the central role by implementing skills associated with
motor control, decision-making, and communication? - ANS Virtual
Users are participating in a simulation that does not lean on random components to generate
results. Instead, the human element is used for introducing variables. What type of simulation
is being described? - ANS Deterministic
What term is used to describe an object that changes in state throughout the course of a
simulation? - ANS Multi-State Objects
