  The 6th International Conference on Grand Challenges in Modeling and Simulation (GCMS’13) is one of the constituent conferences of the 2013 Summer Simulation Multi-Conference (SummerSim’13). Following the success of the earlier conferences in Edinburgh, Istanbul, Ottawa and Genoa the focus of GCMS’13 will continue to be on the major challenges that must be met if the full potential of modeling and simulation is to be realized. Significant progress in M&S methods and applications has accompanied the rapid growth in the power and cost-effectiveness of available computer systems, but many challenges remain.
