Kunz(1998)

John C. Kunz and Raymond E. levitt and Yan Jin, "The Virtual Design
Team: A Computational Simulation model of Project Organizations",
Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery, Vol.41,
No.11, pp.84-91, 1998.
オリジナルの雑誌からひっぱってきていないので，ページがアレな感じ．
よって，ppは非表記で．
VDTの説明論文．
読んで内容を把握しておく程度でいいか．

The vision of the Virtual Design Team (VDT) project is
that managers should design organizations the same way engineer design
bridges: by building and analyzing computational models of planned
organizations and the processes that they support.

The VDT system is an early example of building symbolic
models of social sciences theory. The theory is inherently qualitative,
but symbolic models now allow computational representation and
manipulation of qualitative conceptual entities, their attributes,
relationships and behaviors. The computational implementation of theory
is much more precise as a computational model than theory in classical
text form. In addition, the computational symbolic model is executable
and therefore inherently repeatable and testable. The symbolic model
allows precise definition of important conceptual entities and the
precise, testable specification of their functions, structure and
behaviors.
