Background
- Prof. Tuncer Ören was asked in 2001 by Dr. Bruce Fairchild, the President
of the SCS (2000-2002), to
develop a code of ethics for simulationists. He was appointed in 2002 by Prof.
Bernard P. Zeigler, the President of the SCS
(2002-2004), as the AVP for Ethics
of the SCS.
- A Code
of Professional Ethics for Simulationists was developed by the founding
members of the Ethics Committee of the SCS:
- SimSummit was held during July 18-19, 2002 with the representatives of major
Modeling and Simulation institutions. Prof. Tuncer Ören participated as the
representative of the McLeod Institute of Simulation Sciences (MISS).
One of the resolutions of SimSummit was that a Code of Professional Ethics
should be one of the four pillars - along with Science, Technology and
Applications- for Modeling and Simulation to be considered as a profession.
