SIGSIM is the ACM Special Interest Group on Simulation. Its mission is to promote and disseminate the advancement of the state-of-the-art in simulation and modeling. By nature extremely cross-disciplinary simulation and modeling activities cut across a broad range of interests. SIGSIM is committed to provide new exceptional electronic services to its members (and to the simulation community at large). SIGSIM actively seeks to provide professional services in a variety of ways, including sponsorship of the Winter Simulation Conference and the Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation.

The Air Force established the Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation (AFAMS) in June 1996. Its mission is to coordinate the growing requirement for modeling and simulation across the Air Force by implementing AF/Joint/DoD M&S policy and standards; supporting corporate AF M&S planning, requirements, and investments; supporting establishment, transition, and integration of major AF M&S initiatives and programs; and supporting AF decision-making and mission execution.
