Summer of Simulation: 50 Years of Seminal Computer Simulation Research

By Geoffrey James

This book is based on the "Summer Simulation Multi-Conference" (SCSC), which has been a prominent platform for the dissemination of scholarly research in the M&S community for the last 50 years. In keeping with the conference's seasonal title, the authors have called this half-century "the summer of simulation," and it has led not only to simulation-based disciplines but also simulation as a discipline. This book discusses contributions from the SCSC in three sections. The first section is devoted to contributions from simulation research fellows who were associated with the SCSC, while the second section features the SCSC's most influential contributions. Lastly, the third section includes contributions from the best papers in the last five years.
