Philip J. Kiviat is noted, along with Alan Pritsker,[1] for their half a century of work on computer simulation.
Biography
Kiviat studied at Cornell University from 1955-1961.[2] While working from 1961-1963 for U.S. Steel Corporation he pioneered the development of the original GASP software, which was later enhanced by Alan Pritsker to form GASP II. After moving to RAND Corporation in 1964, Kiviat worked with Harry Markowitz to produce SIMSCRIPT II.
His subsequent work at the 1972-founded Federal Systems Integration_and Management Center (FEDSIM) earned him recognition as "the simulation czar of the federal government."[2]
He is also known for the eponymous Kiviat Graph[3] (also identified as a Kiviat diagram,[4] Kiviat chart,[5] Polar chart or Radar chart).[6]
