Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Scaled Worlds identifies and discusses the emerging challenges and opportunities arising from advanced-technology simulation-based microworld analogues of operational environments. Providing invaluable new insights into the issues, challenges, and approaches for study related to measurement, validation strategy, cognitive modeling, decision making, team training, and system performance, its inclusive and comprehensive perspective pulls together a wealth of literature arising from diverse disciplines.
MoreLong description:
A major transformation in research and training is expected, using new, more advanced versions of computer-based systems. Technology now affords new capabilities: complex and distributed expert decisionmaking and team performance can now be elicited and rehearsed through affordable and easily distributed systems. These new systems will transform research and training on two fronts. It will allow research needed to bridge the gap between internal (i.e. laboratory control) and external (e.g. operational relevance) validity. In addition, it enables a coalition of forces, from training instructors and their students, to research scientists and quantitative performance modelers. While simulation-based research and training is rapidly advancing, with increased funding and sponsorship, as yet there is no comprehensive documentation of tools and techniques. This book addresses the problem, bringing together experts from a variety of perspectives. Their contributions document emerging trends and issues with regard to development, utilization, and validation of these emerging ’scaled world’ systems. The readership includes researchers and practitioners who develop and/or utilize simulation-based environments, educators interested in instructional technology and researchers who require criterion-based performance evaluation.
'...an important book for anyone interested in the use of scaled worlds as a tool for psychological research. It provides an especially comprehensive background on the use of scaled worlds to study decision making and training.' Robert Bolia, Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, USA
