Innovative development in computer technologies, beginning in late 1980s, has a potential to drastically change the nature of communication and computing, and thus to transform the domains of simulation and gaming studies and their applications.

  Japan Association of Simulation And Gaming (JASAG), consists of scholars, businessmen, and educational practitioners throughout Japan, aims for a significant progress of the interdisciplinary approaches as well as the science and technology. The Association forms both domestic and international networks for scholarly communication. Acknowledging that simulation and gaming approaches may transcend boundaries between humanities, social and natural sciences, members of the Association are expected to further develop simulation and gaming approaches, and to create foundations for various research projects and applications.
