Sustain 2013 - Special issue on Sustainability and simulation/gaming

Sustainability and simulation/gaming,
Special issue of Simulation & Gaming: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Theory, Practice and Research
With this special issue, to be published in 2013, we aim to provide the opportunity for authors to contribute original and unpublished articles that present the use of Simulation & Gaming for exploring social, economic, and environmental sustainability of human and natural systems. Simulation gaming can serve as a proactive anticipatory system to examine possibly unintended consequences of course of actions, as their impacts are amplified and are often unforeseeable due to complex interactions and emergence that permeate through the components of a complex interconnected system of systems. Multidisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome to address the problem of complex system sustainability. Guest Editors:
