ABSTRACT
This chapter examines a Department of Energy (DOE) laboratory, which is a hybrid research-industrial-government workplace. However, most of the people work in the DOE complex is technically not government workers. This means that DOE the US governmen towns the physical plant and sites for the purpose of carrying out various aspects of DOE's mission, which encompasses both civilian energy research and civilian control and management of the US nuclear stockpile. When she arrived at LANL in August of 1997, the United States had recently signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and the DOE's national laboratories were adopting Science Based Stockpile Steward ship. Although much of of his work deals with human-computer interaction, and he works closely with computer scientists, he don't usually contribute to computational modeling and simulation projects as a cultural "subject matter expert. In June of 2011, LLNL organized a workshop on high-performance computing for policy-making, and asked if author lead a discussion session on computational social science.
