The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS) is a membership-based, technical association of simulationists. SCS promotes the use of modeling and simulation in a variety of application areas. SCS was established in 1952 as a nonprofit, volunteer-driven corporation called Simulation Councils, Inc. Simulation Councils, Inc. became The Society for Computer Simulation.
SCS organizes meetings, sponsors and co-sponsors national and international conferences, and publishes the SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International and The Journal of Defense Modeling and Simulation magazines.
Publications
SCS publishes two journals as well as a monthly general interest newsletter:
- The Journal of Defense Modeling and Simulation: Applications, Methodology, Technology (JDMS)
- SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International
- SCS M&S Newsletter
SCS also regularly publishes special issues of both our peer-reviewed journals.
Conferences
Each year, SCS holds events where M&S professionals from around the world come together to advance their professional development share ideas, benchmark processes, and network with each other.
