FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF SCS MEMBERSHIP

Since our founding in 1952, The Society for Computer Simulation's membership roster has been made up of engineers, scientists, managers, business professionals, students, and educators. A very diverse field whose interests include: artificial intelligence, microcomputers in simulation, methodology and validation, supercomputers, and more.
	With this in mind, the editors of SCS have created two publications to cover these areas of interest. Our members receive the monthly journal SIMULATION. This journal is filled with up-to-the-minute technical articles, industry news, editorials, an AI column, calendar of events, conference information, and much more. Advertising is supplied by the industry leaders, and short courses and classified ads are an integral part of this journal.
	Our members also receive a 60% discount on TRANSACTIONS of the Society for Computer Simulation International, our quarterly journal. This journal is a highly-refereed, scholarly journal that presents papers dealing with theoretical and practical applications of archival value. It is an excellent review board whose critical expertise insures the quality of the publication.
	In addition we also publish the Directory of Simulation Software, Publication Catalogs, Conference Proceedings, and a long list of conference information to keep our members informed.

Categories of Membership

	Full Membership in SCS is open to all who have been professionally involved in computer simulation for at least 4 years, or who hold an appropriate 4 year degree from accredited college or university.
	Associate Membership is available to anyone who is interested in the technology of simulation or applications of the computer arts and sciences.
	Student Membership is open to any person regularly enrolled on a substantially full-time basis in an institution of higher learning.
	Academic Membership is available to educational institutions. This is an opportunity for your university or college to sponsor an organization that serves educators, students, and society by advancing the science of computer simulation. We encourage professors on campus to coordinate Student Chapters that will facilitate interaction between the professional and business community. The benefits of Academic Membership include a 1/2 page "Presenting" in the journal SIMULATION, and a one year subscription to the TRANSACTIONS of the Society for Computer Simulation International. Also included are discounts on all publications and Proceedings.
