ABSTRACT
During the course of over a decade, the Military Operations Research Society (MORS) has sponsored a sequence of workshops on the subject of simulation technology. The broad objectives of these workshops were to identify and prioritze the needs of the users of military modeling and simulation (M&S), assess the probable evolution of M&S technology, and to identify potential user shortfalls and opportunities to ameliorate them. This paper summarizes the major findings and recommendations of the last of these workshops, Simulation Technology (SIMTECH) 2007. It focuses on the M&S needs for three major user groups: analysts, acquirers of systems, and educators and trainers. For each of these user groups, a vision is articulated and recommendations are posed to realize those visions. The paper concludes with a brief look at promising new M&S initiatives in each of these functional areas as well as major residual issues that confront the M&S community.
