Reseña del libro "Control Room Simulation: The Craft of Real-Time Simulation in Real Life, describing how large scale real-time simulations are planned, executed (en Inglés)"
Real-Time simulation of control rooms has been an empirical practice in Air Traffic Control for many years. It is increasingly relevant to other fields of human endeavour, such as aircraft and air systems, trains and railway systems, ships and seaways, road traffic, including tunnels and bridges, goods distribution, electricity generation and distribution networks, gas extraction and distribution systems, water storage and distribution systems, currency and stock market trading floors, chemical plants and pipelines, fire, police and ambulance services and many other control rooms.. There is very little published literature in this field, because it lacks scientific rigor, because of commercial 'trade secrecy', because few workers in this field have seen publication as an asset to their individual career development, and because it can be very, very, boring. This work will provide anyone interested in control room simulation with a guide to the practical aspects of Real-Time simulation. It has been said that Real-Time simulation has more in common with 'Method' acting than scientific research. This book provides information, entertainment, lessons, examples of reports, conference papers, verbal presentations and posters, and even some suspense - which is more than can be said for most theatre these days. Although it is not the first publication to bring sex into air traffic control - that distinction belongs, of course, to a Frenchman - sex is not neglected. And if you don't buy it, you'll never find out where the pig comes in. The views expressed in this book are the author's own and are not necessarily endorsed by EUROCONTROL or its management.
