Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction to the essential concepts of modeling and simulation (M&S) keeping distributed simulation (DS) in focus. Our purpose in this chapter is to familiarize the user with the terminology and concepts used frequently in subsequent chapters. First, we introduce the basic concepts from the theory of M&S, and then present a historical perspective on DS and related standards. The chapter concludes with an outline of the book chapters.
