McLeod Institute International

The McLeod Institute of Simulation Sciences (MISS)
The Society for Computer Simulation International (SCS)

The McLeod Institute of Simulation Sciences (M.I.S.S.) was founded for the following reasons:

to encourage and coordinate research and application in computer simulation
to seek and secure external funding for Institute activities
to enhance opportunities for undergraduate and graduate teaching, research and training
to stimulate the development, use, and evaluation of new instructional techniques and materials that make use of simulation.

The establishment of a center of the McLeod Institute of Simulation Sciences within a university or research center setting provides a mechanism through which faculty, students, and associates from various disciplines can bring their talents to bear in the general area of computer simulation or can apply simulation to new areas.

The Institute is named after Mr. John McLeod, P.E., the founder of the Society for Computer Simulation International and the founder and first editor of SIMULATION
