2. as a discipline  M&S has emerged as its own discipline  It is where computer science was 40 years ago  It has a body of knowledge that sets it apart Model development methodology Simulation techniques VV&A  Journals and textbooks devoted to M&S  Academic programs at many levels

3. as its own discipline  Four formal degree programs  Old Dominion University  Naval Postgraduate School  University of Central Florida  University of Alabama Huntsville  An accredited undergraduate engineering degree in M&S  A formal academic department focused on M&S education and research

4. Computer Science of 40 years ago  First Computer Science Department established at Purdue University in 1962  First PhD in Computer Science awarded in 1965  Several formal computational theories emerged in the 1960’s

5. body of knowledge  Two major projects ongoing to formalize and catalogue the growing M&S Body of Knowledge University of Ottawa – Dr. Tuncer Oren Aegis Technologies – Mr. Bill Waite  Contributors from a wide variety of government, academic, and industry professionals

6. journals & textbooks  SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International - 1963  ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation - 1991  Simulation Modeling & Analysis – Law & Kelton  Theory of Modeling and Simulation – Zeigler, Praehofer, & Kim  Modeling and Simulation: A Multidisciplinary Approach – Sokolowski & Banks
