Abstract

Simulation is gaining recognition as an academic discipline with a core body of knowledge being developed. It is being taught to students from high school through graduate school. Simulation is also increasingly being used for education and training in many applications, e.g., medicine and the military. The use of simulation games is increasing for students of all ages and educational levels. This chapter describes the emerging academic field of modeling and simulation (M&S) including the need for simulation specialists, professional recognition of simulation professionals, academic programs in M&S, the economics of simulation, and the use of simulation-based games for education.
