Multi-level simulation analysis issues: Four themes

Abstract

The Seitz and Hulin article applying multi-level simulation to the analysis of the AIDS pandemic fills a much needed void in the social sciences literature. In light of its pioneering aspects, four topics will be highlighted by way of review: (1) methodological contributions, (2) theoretical contributions, (3) need for visualization techniques, and (4) possible applications in management above and beyond health issues. Once its initial assumptions are recognized, this article represents a positive addition to the multi-level modeling and simulation literature.
