Society for Modeling and Simulation International

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.
