Abstract

We are having seasons: summers and winters of many scientific disciplines. Many fields are experiencing hype cycles. Each one of us would remember “AI winter” from the history of Artificial Intelligence. Inflated expectations are followed by disappointment and eventually funding cuts. Renewing the interest takes then years if not decades. The Society for Modeling and Simulation International has achieved outstanding success in the last 50 years to keep Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC) an important event through many seasons of simulation, some of which were more remarkable than others. This chapter summarizes the panel discussion/contributions of the SCSC 2018 about the seasons in computer simulation and the ways to achieve and further prolong summers of computer simulation.
