(a) School of International and Public Affair (SIPA):
This group conducted “normative” gaming/simulation on “Oil Development and
Human Right” in Nigeria in February 2010, as mentioned above. This group with
extensive background of Nigeria ( O’Neill, no date-1 ) would construct scenario of

gaming/simulation ( O’Neill, no date-2 ) so that the Millennium Institute would follow it
for their modeling, and subsequent teaching students at both of Columbia University and Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria (which is to be invited later). This
scenario writing would take place with the use of simulation questionnaires ( O’Neill, no date-3 ).

This questionnaire is excellent first step prior to constructing a cause-andeffect diagram of system dynamics simulation to analyze complex interwoven interrelations of various world phenomena.
(b) Center for International Conflict Resolution (CICR):
This group plans to hold Global Symposium on: “ Climate Change and International
Peace and Security,” Global Challenges and Global Solutions: Interdisciplinary
Approaches, and has invited GLOSAS/USA to conduct a gaming/simulation demonstration of this proposal project, which would be the integrated and combined form of the normative and quantitative gaming/simulation mentioned above.
(c) Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CNMTL)
This group is to help faculties of the above. This group also help students at both of
Columbia University and Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria for the so-called
“Nation Building” exercise of Nigeria’s future after oil export revenue dwindled. This ex ercise would be the outgrowth of this group’s Millennium Village Simulation with
Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute of Columbia University
< http://tinyurl.com/45e9gy >. This group has already performed many videoconferencing through Internet and audio conferencing through analog telephony network with universities in various African countries. Subsequently, this group would just extend its level from “village” to “nation building.”

GLObal Systems Analysis and Simulation Association in the U.S.A. (GLOSAS/USA)
Co-Principal Investigator for performing general administration of this project.
IBM
We are currently approaching IBM to have their cloud computing services so that our project colleagues around the world can access same simulation models to work together. As soon as their services become available to us, Professor Onishi will install his FUGI global model and Millennium Institute their models of various countries in the services.
International McLeod Institute of Simulation Sciences (MISS) at California State
University at Chico
They will construct data exchange mechanism of distributed simulation models of

Millennium Institute
Co-Principal Investigator
They will supply system dynamics simulation models of various countries, e.g., the
United States, China, Bangladesh, Ghana, Guyana, Italy, Malawi, Somaliland, Tunisia and others, which may replace the corresponding ones of FUGI model.
