Is there any difference between emulator and simulators?

In the given context they both would refer to the same thing. However this is worth a read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulator#Emulation....

See both the names are same for the "Virtual kind of Devices". Its Emulator for Android, Simulator for BlackBerry, again Simulator for iPhone as well. What is Virtual Device?

Virtual device means which is not a real phone(but almost giving the same functionality as real phone does except some features like camera) but developer can use it to test their application).

From RIM's own website: There are a variety of BlackBerry® simulators available to emulate the functionality of actual BlackBerry products, including BlackBerry devices and BlackBerry Enterprise Server™. In other words, yes, simulators are just a RIM term for emulators.

A simulator is mostly used to theoretically examine a system. Whereas an emulator clones the original system in some aspects.

Emulator : emulates Hardware and Software Simulator: simulates only software Check the following link : mobileqazone.com/forum/topics/difference....

Whereas I am concerned about these : Emulator : When you have the hardware capability and do not need to translate each instruction. In other words instructions are supported by hardware. Simulator : when instructions are not supported and you need to translate them with the native language.

Emulator are supposed to be faster than simulator, since no instruction translation is needed .

Emulator is combination of hardware and software. Simulator is only software. Consider example of android emulator, when any action is done on android emulator, the instruction is get converted into ARM call and then to the underlying operating system(windows/mac/unix).

In case of iPhone simulator instructions on simulator are directly converted to the native call(Mac). That's why emulator provides more realistic behavior.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
