商品描述

At the intersection of astronautics, computer science, and social science, this book introduces the challenges and insights associated with computer simulation of human society in outer space, and of the dynamics of terrestrial enthusiasm for space exploration. Never before have so many dynamic representations of space-related social systems existed, some deeply analyzing the logical implications of social-scientific theories, and others open for experience by the general public as computer-generated virtual worlds. Fascinating software ranges from multi-agent artificial intelligence models of civilization, to space-oriented massively multiplayer online games, to educational programs suitable for schools or even for the world's space exploration agencies. At the present time, when actual forays by humans into space are scarce, computer simulations of space societies are an excellent way to prepare for a renaissance of exploration beyond the bounds of Earth.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在航天學、計算機科學和社會科學的交匯處,本書介紹了與人類社會在外太空的計算機模擬相關的挑戰和見解,以及地球上對太空探索的熱情動態。從未有如此多的與太空相關的社會系統的動態表現存在,其中一些深入分析了社會科學理論的邏輯含義,而另一些則作為計算機生成的虛擬世界供大眾體驗。引人入勝的軟體範圍從多代理人工智慧模型的文明,到以太空為導向的大型多人在線遊戲,再到適合學校甚至世界太空探索機構的教育程序。目前,當人類實際進入太空的行動仍然稀少時,太空社會的計算機模擬是為超越地球邊界的探索復興做好準備的絕佳方式。
