Welcome to this month's SCS Simulation News.  This electronic
newsletter is published monthly and sent to your email address.

Our purpose is to keep SCS members and others in the modeling and
simulation communities up to date on the activities of the Society for
Modeling and Simulation International.  Please forward this newsletter
to friends, peers and colleagues with interests in modeling and
simulation.

Please send comments and suggestions to the newsletter editor,
Bob Lipset; mailto:Newsletter.Editor@scs.org

1.  News and developments in modeling and simulation

* At the Western MultiConference, just held in Phoenix, AZ, the
   Executive Committee of the Society for Modeling and Simulation,
   International, ratified plans to implement the restructuring of the
   Society's publications.  This will be a transition year in which we
   will introduce the new Modeling and Simulation Magazine as an insert
   in SIMULATION, starting in March.  It will be widely distributed at
   modeling and simulation events.  There will be four such inserts
   (quarterly) and we will transition to a full fledged magazine in
   January, 2002. That date is also when we will shift all our journal
   research publications to a restructured SIMULATION: Transactions of
   The Society for Modeling and Simulation, International.

   Meanwhile, our web vault at http://web1.affinitycity.com will
   continue to build up our collection of journal and proceedings
   articles.  This will establish it as the primary knowledge-base in
   the discipline of M&S (currently, it has open access for user
   feedback, please visit it).

   The M&S Magazine, in its electronic form, will be hosted on a new
   site, www.modelingandsimulation.org (not yet active), with
   links that will contribute to a wide readership from various
   organizations.  To enable access to the publications, a new fee
   structure will be instituted to meet the budget constraints of
   individual members, corporations, institutions, and libraries.

* Please plan now to attend the 2001 Summer Computer Simulation
   Conference (SCSC 2001) July 15-19 in Orlando Florida.  Come share in
   the maturation of the modeling and simulation profession, industry,
   and marketplace.  The theme for this year's conference is "Making
   Simulation Work!"

   SCSC'01 will address the rapidly growing capability to develop and
   use modeling and simulation in a wide range of of application
   domains.  For more information, visit
