In addition to a technical program of unsurpassed scope and quality, WSC provides the central meeting place for simulation practitioners, researchers, and vendors working in all disciplines in industry, service, government, military and academic sectors. Simulation has been found useful for a range of scientific, engineering and business applications as evident by the papers presented at Winter Simulation Conferences over the past 50 years. Simulation has been employed to help noble causes too over the recent past, but such efforts have received limited attention.

A4SAFE led the briefing and covered both business and technical elements of The Standard Unified Modeling, Mapping, and Integration toolkit (SUMMIT), which is an innovative simulation platform that enables users to discover/reuse models and execute case studies to analyze emergency events. SUMMIT accelerates “what-If” analysis of disaster scenarios and improves the planning and execution of test run (exercises). The key features of SUMMIT are in reuse of models that have been integrated into the model library, an interface that helps non-programmers to compose scenarios, ability to rapidly test and compare disaster scenarios from one location to another. SUMMIT contains several case files that constitute synthetic data from analysis of response and recovery operations, trends, impacts, and risks. SUMMIT supports the National Preparedness System as described in the Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) and has been transitioned into an operational environment for use in training, exercise, threat/hazard risk assessment, resilience, and other preparedness activities.
