SCS periodically presents special awards to distinguished Modeling &
Simulation practitioners. The Awards and Recognition
Committee (ARC) supports two categories of awards, with 3 awards
in each category, as well as a
Lifetime Achievement Award, the SCS Modeling & Simulation Hall of Fame.
The granting of an award
typically begins with a nomination from the ARC. These awards
will be considered on a regular basis by the ARC and will not
necessarily be awarded each year.
- Contribution to the Profession Awards;
The awards in this category are intended to recognize outstanding
contributions to the science and technology of the modeling and simulation
process.
- Outstanding Professional Contribution Award
- Criteria: The candidate will typically have contributed an innovative
concept or product, or formulated creative insight, which has been
embraced by some significant segment of the modeling and simulation
community as evidenced by its widespread application in that community.
- Frequency: As appropriate.
