<p><b>The definite guide to the theory, knowledge, technical expertise, and ethical considerations that define the M&S profession</b></p> <p>From traffic control to disaster management, supply chain analysis to military logistics, healthcare management to new drug discovery, modeling and simulation (M&S) has become an essential tool for solving countless real-world problems. M&S professionals are now indispensable to how things get done across virtually every aspect of modern life. This makes it all the more surprising that, until now, no effort has been made to systematically codify the core theory, knowledge, and technical expertise needed to succeed as an M&S professional.</p> <p>This book brings together contributions from experts at the leading edge of the modeling and simulation profession, worldwide, who share their priceless insights into issues which are fundamental to professional success and career development in this critically important field. Running as a common thread throughout the book is an emphasis on several key aspects of the profession, including the essential body of knowledge underlying the M&S profession; the technical discipline of M&S; the ethical standards that should guide professional conduct; and the economic and commercial challenges today’s M&S professionals face.</p> <p>• Demonstrates applications of M&S tools and techniques in a variety of fields—such as engineering, operations research, and cyber environments—with over 500 types of simulations</p> <p>• Highlights professional and academic aspects of the field, including preferred programming languages, professional academic and certification programs, and key international societies</p> <p>• Shows why M&S professionals must be fully versed in the theory, concepts, and tools needed to address the challenges of cyber environments</p> <p><i>The Profession of Modeling and Simulation </i>is a valuable resource for M&S practitioners, developers, and researchers working in industry and government. Simulation professionals, including administrators, managers, technologists, faculty members, and scholars within the physical sciences, life sciences, and engineering fields will find it highly useful, as will students planning to pursue a career in the M&S profession.</p> <p>“ …nearly three dozen experts in Modeling and Simulation (M&S) come together to make a compelling case for the recognition of M&S as a profession… Important reading for anyone seeking to elevate the standing of this vital field.”</p> <p><b>Alfred (Al) Grasso, </b><i>President & CEO, The MITRE Corporation</i></p> <p><b>Andreas Tolk, PhD, </b>is Technology Integrator for the Modeling, Simulation, Experimentation, and Analytics Division of The MITRE Corporation, an adjunct professor in the Department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering and the Department for Modeling, Simulation, and Visualization Engineering at Old Dominion University, and an SCS fellow.</p> <p><b>Tuncer Ören, PhD, </b>is Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at the University of Ottawa.
