Board wargaming 3 Computerized wargaming 4 Types of military wargaming 4.1 Scales: 5 Notable Wargamers 6 Publishers of wargames 7 Wargames and Wargaming as computer terms 8 External Links History of wargaming Modern wargaming grew out of the military need to study warfare and to 'reenact' old battles for learning purposes. The stunning Prussian victory over the French in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71) is sometimes partly credited to the training of Prussian officers with the Kriegspiel. The first specific non military wargame club was started in Oxford, England in the 19th century. H.G. Wells' book Little Wars was an attempt to codify rules for fighting battles with toy soldiers (miniatures), and make them available to the general public. Wargames have existed for centuries—chess is an ancient example. In fact, one could

of a Himalayan village in The ClueFinders Math Adventures The ClueFinders are a group of fictional preteen detectives whose exploits are featured in The Learning Company's ClueFinders Series of educational software. The members are Joni Savage, Santiago Rivera, Owen Lam and Leslie Clark. They are helped, rather reluctantly, by the Turbo TURTLE LapTrap. The ClueFinders adventures are usually described as being a mix of Scooby-Doo and Indiana Jones. The ClueFinders adventures aren't bound by reality. In The ClueFinders 4th Grade Adventures Alastor Loveless, an evil archaeologist, tries to awaken Set, the Egyptian god of chaos, to take over the world. Often the endings are unexpected, and they vary between being actually plausible and completely impossible. In all the ClueFinder's games (except for The ClueFinders 4th Grade Adventures) the ClueFinders are divided
Clustering

is the connection of many low-cost computers using special software such that they can be used as one larger computer. Clustering can either be used to provide reliability (when one machines fails, the others takes over its workload) or as a means to inexpensively provide large amounts of computing power. In machine learning, clustering is an algorithm that takes a data set of inputs and divides them into equivalence classes, so that every input in a class is "similar" in some way.

nothing. Before Chii was found by Hideki and named Chii, her name was Elda. She was the second chobit produced by the Hibiya couple. After Mr. Hibiya's death, her memories were erased by Ms. Hibiya. Hideki soon found her and brought her home. Possibly, Elda's memories were also on the disk which was accidentally left in the garbage when Hideki salvaged her. After she is activated, Chii proceeds to start learning about the environment around her, and make some hilarious mistakes in the process (for example imitating a pornographic pose from one of Hideki's magazines). Eventually, when Chii starts communicating properly and learns enough about her environment to be able to function in it, she gets at job at Hiroyasu Ueda's bakery. Chii also houses the resident personality of her fellow

upper-level Scientology course known as OT III ("Operating Thetan Level Three"). For more information about the "secret" documents of Scientology, see the Wikipedia article on Scientology beliefs and practices. In spite of efforts by the Church of Scientology to keep the story of Xenu a secret - the OT III materials contain the claim that learning OT III without proper preparation and supervision is likely to cause death by pneumonia - details of the Xenu writings have been revealed to the general public over the years. Critics of Scientology claim that the Xenu story is ultimate proof that Scientology is a scam and a confidence trick. They note that after spending thousands of dollars and investing years of their lives to reach the level of OT III, Scientologists learn that the
Chinese input methods for computer

to select a character from a menu generally have sophisticated methods for guessing which characters the user intends based on context. Different people are most comfortably with different methods and each standard has its strengths and weaknesses. For example, for someone who is already familiar with pinyin, the pinyin method can be learned most quickly. However, the maximum typing rate is limited, and learning the system is difficult for some who doesn't know pinyin. Wubi takes much effort to learn, but expert typists can enter text much faster than the phonetic methods. Because of these factors, there is no likelihood of a "standard" method evolving. Other means of inputting Chinese characters are not widely used but include stylus and tablet, with hand-writing recognition software, as the most common alternative, and then

knowledge, skills, or abilities in the view of the certifying body. Similarly, certification of products indicates their reputed suitability for a specified purpose (i.e., a computer system might be certified as being fully compatible with a large software package). The rise of the Internet has lead to a new kind of certification for websites. Website certifications exist to certify the website's privacy policy, security of their financial transactions, suitability for minors, etc. People become certified through training and/or passing an exam. Products become certified through testing. Individuals often advertise their status by appending the certification acronym to their name: Jane Doe, RHCE. Ceritifcations may be perpetual, may need to be renewed periodically, or may be for a specific period of time (e.g., the life-time of the product upon which the individual

intentions toward trying to learn to use the new technology prior to initiating efforts directed at using. Attitudes towards usage and intentions to use may be ill-formed or lacking in conviction or else may occur only after preliminary strivings to learn to use the technology evolve. Thus, actual usage may not be a direct or immediate consequence of such attitudes and intentions.’ (Bagozzi et al., 1992) TAM suggests that when users are presented with a new software package, a number of factors come into their decision about how and when they will use it. Perceived usefulness (PU) was defined by Davis as ‘the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system would enhance his or her job performance’. Perceived ease-of-use (EOU) he defined as ‘the degree to which

4, 4. This is an extremely lucky roll. Not only can he hit both of blue's blots with 1-5*-9*, he also has two more fours to play. He may, for example play 19-23(2), moving two checkers from his 6-point to the 2-point. This leaves blue with two checkers on the bar, trying to re-enter against green's home board, which has two points blocked by green. Green was wise to hit twice, because it disrupts blue's efforts to build a prime, and it puts blue considerably behind in the race. Those two checkers must come all the way around the board before blue can begin to bear off. In contrast, green's decision to make the 2-point was strategically dubious. Yes, it may prevent blue from entering with both checkers, and there is
Artificial intelligence agent

agent To be considered a bonafide agent, and agent (software, hardware or otherwise) must exhibit the behavioural qualities of agenthood. Essentially this means perceiving the software environment through sensors and acting on the environment through actuators. This must be accomplished autonomously. A mail transfer agent for example decides when to transfer and deliver the mail, and does so asynchronously and independently from the behaviours of other agents in the system. Agents generally --and including some software agents-- have the ability to learn and to reason, logically or otherwise. They may discover facts and rules about the world or about others and may assess and argue these truths and may alter their ontology. = Agent Environments = Environments in which agents operate can be defined in different ways. It is helpful to

its high price and complicated desktop connectivity, both problems solved soon after with the Palm Pilot. The marketing campaign trumpeted the handwriting recognition, which critics considered poor in the initial versions. The original handwriting recognition was actually very sophisticated (learning the user's handwriting instead of forcing the user to learn a new handwriting system, and using a database of known words to make guesses as to what the user was writing). Later versions of the handwriting recognition combined the word database recognition with a letter-by-letter recogniser so that you could switch between printed and joined up writing, even within a single word; they were significantly improved and many users consider the Newton 2000 handwriting recognition software better than any of the alternatives since.

for the Apple Macintosh in 1985 as a logical commercialization of Adobe's in-house font development software and PostScript file format. In many ways, Illustrator's release was a gamble as the Macintosh did not have serious market share, the only printer that could output Illustrator documents was Apple's own LaserWriter (also very new and expensive), and the drawing paradigm of Bézier curves was novel to the mainstream user. Not only did the Macintosh show only monochrome graphics, but display options were basically limited to its built-in 9" monitor. Illustrator helped drive the development of larger monitors for the Macintosh. Illustrator was a reliable, capable product, however, and its relatively low learning curve let users quickly appreciate that the new paradigm was not only better, but finally solved the problem of imprecision from

on the Apple II and IBM PC under DOS where it became one of the best-selling software titles for a number of years. dBASE was never able to transition successfully to Microsoft Windows and was eventually displaced by newer products like Paradox and FoxPro. Ashton-Tate was later sold to Borland in 1991, which sold the rights to the product line in 1999 to the newly-formed dBASE Inc. History dBASE's history can be traced back to the mid-1960s in the form of a system called RETRIEVE, which was marketed by Tymshare Corporation. RETRIEVE was used by Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and in the late 1960s they asked one of their programmers, Jeb Long, to produce their own version. The result was JPLDIS (Jet Propulsion Laboratory Display Information System) which was written in the

It should also be noted that cost of service may differ depending on location, being pricier at the rural areas. Not surprisingly, the most discussed issue to date is the availability of the access at an affordable cost. As internet connection is becoming popular in some countries such as United States, and broadband connection becomes realistic policy issues than future expectations, the increasing amount of discussion of the divide between people who have broadband connections and those who have narrowband.

It is also not new that some communication infrastructure and active use of it are
