Abstract
The thesis is very simple: Simulation is the future! Growing environmental complexity leaves few alternatives to the use of simulation for planning, controlling and training. We can stipulate to the existence of a cyber environment. There are few who would question the fact that more and more of our activities are dependent upon both sophisticated, interconnected models and computers on which to executive them. Moreover, attendant with this growth are an increasing number of practical operating problems and risks. The thesis of this paper is that simulation offers one of the most fruitful ways to address these issues. Indeed, increasingly, simulation may be the only way to effectively address them. If one agrees with this conclusion, it follows that there is a research agenda that must be implemented to resolve critical open issues.
