Economic Development in Modeling and Simulation: Inventor and Innovation Analysis

Posted on by

The objective of this paper is to illustrate that analysis methods applied to innovation networks in the form of patented inventions can be used advantageously for economic development purposes. The results of the analysis can be used to support a range of capabilities from building communities of practice, identifying regional innovation centers, and understanding community structures to achieve economic growth through innovation. In addition, it is an objective of this paper to highlight the role of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) in the advancement of industries pertinent to specific regional economies.

The State of Modeling & Simulation: An Inventor and Innovation Analysis

Posted on by

The following results of a first-order network/genetic analysis of Michigan, Texas, Alabama and Florida, in an attempt to visualize the role played by M&S in those states. These states are known to represent regions where there is a growing interest in and use of the techniques of M&S. It is hoped that these two forms of state-by-state analysis can help determine the degree to which M&S has progressed beyond the point of an enabling technology to become an emergent industry.
