Modeling & Simulation A Discipline| A Technology| An Opportunity Dr. John A. Sokolowski, Executive Director Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center
as a discipline Modeling & Simulation • M&S has emerged as its own discipline • It is where computer science was 40 years ago • It has a body of knowledge that sets it apart • Model development methodology • Simulation techniques • VV&A • Journals and textbooks devoted to M&S • Academic programs at many levels
M&S body of knowledge • Two major projects ongoing to formalize and catalogue the growing M&S Body of Knowledge • University of Ottawa – Dr. Tuncer Oren • Aegis Technologies – Mr. Bill Waite • Contributors from a wide variety of government, academic, and industry professionals
M&S journals & textbooks • SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International - 1963 • ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation - 1991 • Simulation Modeling & Analysis – Law & Kelton • Theory of Modeling and Simulation – Zeigler, Praehofer, & Kim • Modeling and Simulation: A Multidisciplinary Approach – Sokolowski & Banks
Modeling & Simulation as a technology
as a technology Modeling & Simulation • M&S is being used for many purposes • Training • Analysis • Experimentation • It is being used in many domains • Military/Homeland Security • Medical and Healthcare • Transportation • Business • It is being used to model many things • Human and social behavior • Physical systems • Manufacturing processes and supply chains • Markets of all kinds • Biological systems
