What We Do

The Society for Modeling and Simulation International is the premier scientific and technical society dedicated to advancing the use of Modeling and Simulation to solve real-world problems. We are devoted to advancing simulation and allied computer arts and committed to facilitating communication among professionals in the simulation field.

A book is open on top of some books.

Our Activities

The Society for Modeling and Simulation International organizes meetings, sponsors, and co-sponsors national and international conferences on Modeling & Simulation. We publish the journals SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International and the Journal of Defense Modeling and Simulation.

SCS members number in the thousands and are leaders in various organizations involving Modeling and Simulation. Our members are active in business, research, education, & many other fields and are working to disseminate Modeling and Simulation (M&S) knowledge in their domains.
