M&SNet: McLeod Modeling & Simulation Network (SCS)
http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~oren/SCS_MSNet/MSNet-index.htm
Aims: • Established in 2003 by the Society for Modeling and Simulation International• The M&SNet is a consortium of co-operating independent organizations
active in several aspects of M&S (modeling and simulation) domain: professionalism, research, education, and knowledge dissemination
• Aims to provide an organizational structure that will serve to integrate and enrich, within its organizations, M&S activities throughout the world.
• A framework to interact, share expertise, and work on problems of common interest in M&S.
• Mission is to foster:• professionalism in modeling and simulation, • advancing the art and science of M&S, • applying M&S in all domains where it is applicable, and • disseminating M&S-related knowledge.

M&SNet Workshop – Power of SynergyJuly 24-25, 2004, San Jose, CA (Just before the SCSC 2004)
Four types of participations are foreseen: 1. Presentations by representatives of M&SNet member organizations to
highlight the types of cooperation possibilities. 2. Presentations by members of M&SNet member organizations to highlight the
possible research topics they would like to initiate and/or join forces with other M&SNet member organizations.
In addition, presentations will be invited from: 3. Representatives of organizations who may want to consider joining M&SNet. 4. Representatives of organizations who would like to observe the potential of
M&SNet and/or announce challenging Modeling and Simulation project funding possibilities.

• The Ottawa Center of the MISS network (OC-MISS) is committed to promoting the modeling and simulation discipline within Ottawa's National Capital Region.
Mission of OC-MISS:
© Ören - 2004-06-17 M&SNet, OC-MISS, and International Synergistic Opportunities” 11
More specifically, the goals are as follows:
• To promote widespread and successful use of modeling and simulation in the National Capital Region in such areas as: education, business, engineering, science, social systems/governance (including international relations, conflict management, peace support/assurance operations), and several aspects of defense requirements. • To stimulate the development of modeling and simulation companies in Ottawa contributing to the solution of national and international problems. • To enhance the educational opportunities in modeling and simulation in the National Capital Region including graduate theses work, academic courses, and professional training and seminars. • To contribute to the advancement of the state-of-the-art of modeling and simulation methodology, technology, and tools. • To contribute to the development of modeling and simulation as a professional discipline.
