Abstract

Modeling and Simulation (M&S) has recently become an important area that is pursued by many researchers and practitioners due to the role it plays in understanding complex systems and problems. We have therefore witnessed the establishment of many M&S organizations in the last two decades especially in the more developed world. Less developed countries are starting to recognize the need for such capability especially that the problems they face are not less complex. In this paper, we present a preliminary study towards a business plan for establishing a scientific center for Modeling, Analysis, Simulation and Animation in Jordan (JoSAMA) and the value it can bring to the academic, industrial and governmental communities in Jordan and potentially in the Middle East. This effort was funded by the Fulbright Specialist Program and hosted by the German-Jordanian University, Amman, Jordan.
