In this volume, nearly three dozen experts in Modeling and Simulation
(M&S)cometogethertomakeacompellingcasefortherecognitionofM&S
as a profession. They do so by citing evidence of the unique body of
knowledgepossessedbythosewithM&Sskills,thebroadandindispensable
contributionstheymaketoscienceandindustry,thestatusofM&Sinother
parts of the world, and the strong economic, educational, and ethical
foundations that exist for this work. This book is important reading for
anyone seeking to elevate the standing of this vital field.

Wiley Series in Modeling and Simulation
The Wiley Series in Modeling and Simulation provides an interdisciplinary and global
approach to the numerous real-world applications of modeling and simulation (M&S)
that arevital to business professionals, researchers, policymakers, program managers,
andacademicsalike.Writtenbyrecognizedinternationalexpertsinthefield,thebooks
present the best practices in the applications of M&S as well as bridge the gap
betweeninnovativeandscientificallysoundapproachestosolvingreal-worldproblems
and the underlying technical language of M&S research. The series successfully
expandsthewayreadersviewandapproachproblemsolvinginadditiontothedesign,
implementation,and evaluationofinterventions tochangebehavior.Featuringbroad
coverageoftheory,concepts,andapproachesalongwithclear,intuitive,andinsightful
illustrations of the applications, the Series contains books within five main topical
areas: Public and Population Health; Training and Education; Operations Research,
Logistics,Supply Chains, and Transportation; Homeland Security,Emergency Manage
ment,andRiskAnalysis;andInteroperability,Composability,andFormalism.

ThistextisdedicatedtoMr.William(Bill)F.Waite(1946–2015),whohas
been a true Professional of Modeling and Simulation (M&S). He dedicated
hislifetocontributetotheestablishmentoftheM&SBodyofKnowledge,was
active as a servant leader in many professional M&S Societies, and was a
pioneer in the Economics of M&S. He touched the lives of many scholars,
students, and practitioners. He truly will be missed by all his friends and
colleagues.
