Three Short Thoughts - With Long Implications

Takeshi Utsumi

Global Information Services, Inc. 42-23 Colden Street Flushing, New York 11355

Tak Utsumi is a fireball. Ask a question and you get an answer-probably many pages in length. If I had asked for details I would probably have gotten a book! I will here try to condense his six-page reply. (However, all of it would be of interest if we only had room.)

Heat-transfer phenomena with chemical reactions got Tak involved with simulation in 1960 when he was a PhD candidate at the Polytechnic Institute of Brook lyn. Since then he has been with Mobile Chemical

Company, MIT Sloan School of Management, Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation, Mitsubishi Research Institute (in Japan), and Japan GLOSAS (GLObal Systems Analysis and Simulation) Association before forming his own company GIS/USA.

It is interesting that in 1971 Tak began advocating the term "peace game" instead of "war game." It was that way of thinking that led to the formation of GLOSAS, rahich is dedicated to the use of computer conferencing and distributed computer simulations simultaneously running different area and sector models to solve the problems associated with complex socioeconomic systems.

Currently., this simulation activist is concerned with the commercial application of the GLOSAS concept - the promotion of worldwide understanding and coop eration among people of various countries through technology and information transfer.
