• The Special Interest Group on Simulation and Modeling of the Society for Computing Machinery
• The Military Operations Research Society (MORS)
• The Association for Manufacturing Excellence, and the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Virginia
• Many other organizations and individuals in the field
Under the overall auspices of the National Training and Simulation Association, this meeting of the National Modeling and Simulation Coalition promises to be a ground-breaking event in the advancement of simulation applications across American industry. On the following day, July 10, the Capitol Hill M&S Expo, an exhibition of modeling and simulation technology by local, regional and national companies and organizations, will take place in the Rayburn Office Building on Capitol Hill. The July 10 event is sponsored by the National Training and Simulation Association in conjunction with the Congressional Modeling and Simulation Caucus. On display at the Expo will be cutting-edge applications of modeling, simulation and virtual reality. The Expo will run from 10:30AM to 2:00PM.
The July 9 meeting of the National Modeling and Simulation Coalition is free and open to the media.
