Abstract

The Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC) is part of the Summer Simulation Multi-conference that is organized by the Society of Modelling and Simulation International. SCSC celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2018! We therefore thought it timely to present a profiling study of SCSC conferences and report on metrics associated with publications, such as, contribution of authors and institutions, county-specific affiliation data, funding organizations, scholarly outlets (journals and conferences) and authors being cited by SCSC authors, frequency of citations by years, and citations count of papers published in SCSC proceedings. The period of review was from 2005 to 2017 and our dataset consisted of 911 papers. Our findings confirm the international character of this conference, with leading SCSC authors and institutions based in Canada, Europe and North America. Our citation-based analysis reveals the breath of literature being cited by the authors, and which includes Operations Research, industrial and process engineering, and applied computing. This book chapter adds to the profiling studies that have been undertaken by the authors in the field of M&S, and which includes, a profile of the journals Simulation and the Journal of Defence Modelling and Simulation, and the Winter Simulation Conference.
