[Iefac.list] Survey on Establishing a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Division for the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE)

[Ashour, Omar]

Colleagues,

We need your input!

Modeling and simulation (M&S) is a critical discipline that examines how to
construct and analyze decision-making scenario models that can be applied
in a wide variety of application areas. These models are widely used in
understanding complex systems in both general and specific scenarios. The
huge popularity of the field can be seen in the wide set of application
areas such as manufacturing, transportation, government, and healthcare
combined with its ability to drive increasingly high quality animation.
Advances in computing power and efficient computation methodologies have
allowed M&S to be used to solve increasingly large problems. M&S is
especially valuable in the design, modification, and evaluation of many
complex systems and inter-dependent decisions.

The creation of a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Division within the
Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineering (IISE) has been proposed.
While multiple divisions within the IISE apply M&S in solving problems
within their focal areas, there is no one division currently concentrating
on this critical set of tools independent of the specific application area.
The potential M&S Division will provide the means to deliver focused
topical contents to its membership. Industrial and Systems Engineering is a
broad field, this division will focus on the M&S discipline within this
wide spectrum. It will offer a new benefit to attract more scholars,
practitioners, and students to join IISE.

The potential creation of a new division at IISE requires feedback from the
membership to evaluate the proposal. Your participation in this short
survey is crucial to make it possible for the IISE to consider, approve,
and support this division. It will only take about 2-3 minutes to finish
the survey.
