Industry simulation environment
First Claim
1. A method for simulating a global industrial environment, the method comprising:
- modeling a global economy as a set of interlinked economies;
modeling a management framework as a set of interlinked management functionalities; and
modeling both individual and organizational behaviors through a use of a set of interlinked agents, wherein the set of interlinked agents actively transact in the global economy and implement one or more of the set of interlinked management functionalities, and wherein the global industrial environment is dynamically configurable.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for simulating a global industrial environment. In one embodiment, the global industrial environment models a global economy as a set of interlinked economies, models a management framework as a set of interlinked management functionalities, and models both individual and organizational behaviors through a use of a set of interlinked agents. In another embodiment, operational data independent from the interlinked economies, interlinked management functionalities, and interlinked agents is customized at run-time. In another embodiment, individuals are electronically trained in a synthetic environment for analysis and simulation of a global industrial system. In this embodiment, the environment includes a virtual execution environment, a pre-exercise briefing, one or more rounds of exercise-time activity, and a post-game analysis.

5. A method for war-gaming a global economy implemented on a distributed computing environment, the method comprising:
-
forming a virtual global economy as a set of interlinked economies and political entities, wherein each economy is modeled based on a set of markets selected from a group consisting of goods, services, stocks, bonds, labor, currency, and intellectual property;
representing a firm based on a set of management functionalities selected from a group consisting of strategic planning, operations, production, distribution, accounting, quantitative methods, mergers and acquisitions, marketing, finance, and human resources; and
engaging by a player as a firm against at least another player as another firm, which is a competitor of the firm, so as to induce a desired business strategy.

7. A method for electronically training individuals in a synthetic environment for analysis and simulation of a global industrial system, the method comprising:
-
creating a virtual execution environment on a distributed computing system, wherein the virtual execution environment is dynamically configurable;
conducting a pre-exercise briefing;
simulating a global economy having one or more markets;
operating a human agent in the virtual execution environment;
operating a plurality of artificial agents in the virtual execution environment, wherein the plurality of artificial agents represent intelligent software agents that each has a knowledge base programmed with rules of engagement;
simulating one or more management functionalities;
conducting one or more rounds of exercise-time activity; and
conducting a post-game analysis. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
