Abstract

The history of the winter Simulation Conference provides insight into the working environment and intellectual and managerial attitudes during the formative period of simulation software development. It also suggests a basis for comparison with current practices. This history provides a springboard from which to extrapolate a few predictions for simulation capabilities of the future.
