Web-based simulationWeb-based simulation (WBS) is the invocation of computer simulation services over the World Wide Web, specifically through a web browser. Increasingly, the web is being looked upon as an environment for providing modeling and simulation applications, and as such, is an emerging area of investigation within the simulation community. Web-based simulation is used in several contexts: In e-learning, various principles can quickly be illustrated to students by means of interactive computer animations, for example during lecture demonstrations and computer exercises.
Social simulationSocial simulation is a research field that applies computational methods to study issues in the social sciences. The issues explored include problems in computational law, psychology, organizational behavior, sociology, political science, economics, anthropology, geography, engineering, archaeology and linguistics . Social simulation aims to cross the gap between the descriptive approach used in the social sciences and the formal approach used in the natural sciences, by moving the focus on the processes/mechanisms/behaviors that build the social reality.
Identifiant de processusL'identifiant de processus ou PID (Process IDentifier) est un code unique attribué sur les systèmes Unix ou Windows à tout processus lors de son démarrage. Il permet ainsi d'identifier le processus dans la plupart des commandes s'appliquant sur un processus donné (comme kill). Sous Linux le premier programme démarré, init, a le PID 1. Les processus suivants incrémentent le numéro pour arriver à 32768 par défaut sur les processeurs 32 bits, et 4194304 sur les processeurs 64 bits (réglable avec /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max) pour repartir de 2 en évitant les PID déjà utilisés.
