A propos de cet article

12 pages on approximately 8.5 inch by 11 inch paper. Some page soiling. Clark C. Abt is an American researcher born August 31, 1929 in Cologne, Germany. He became an American citizen in 1945, at age 16, and is known for first formalizing the concept and usages of Serious games. Abt left Germany for the United States in 1937. In 1947, he applied as an aeronautics student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he graduated in 1951. He then served four month in the merchant navy as a seaman, then spent a year at Johns Hopkins University as an English teacher, eventually obtaining a Master's degree in the Writing, Discourse and Drama Department for his thesis, titled A Year of Poems. In 1965, he earned a Ph.D. from MIT in Political Science. From 1952 to 1953 Dr. Abt worked as a power plant engineer for Bechtel Corporation in San Francisco, and from 1953 to 1957 he served in the U.S. Air Force as electronic countermeasures officer and navigator. From 1957 to 1964 Dr. Abt held engineering and management positions at the Raytheon Company, including managing the Advanced Systems and Strategic Studies Departments within the company's Missile and Space Division. He founded Abt Associates immediately afterwards. Abt is known for his book Serious Games (1970), where he formally established a basis for the concept of Serious game. In this work and subsequent ones, he described sports games, role playing games and (then marginal) computer games as mediums for educative, political or marketing ideas. He apparently authored this while at Raytheon. The author starts out observing that "The vulnerability of space systems is one of the principal factors determining their relative effectiveness in carrying out military missions, in comparison with earth-based systems." The author goes on to discuss: Deployment, Discrimination and Detection of Friendly and Hostile Targets, Kill Radii of Various Weapons, Active and Defensive Techniques, Concealment, Dispersal, Mobility, Hardness, Active Defense,and Velocity Increments in Pursuer and Pursued.
