Abstract

We first address future simulation needs from a generic point of view and then from the viewpoint of major stakeholders within the simulation community. These stakeholders include the simulation software developer/vendor, the corporate end user, the government end-user, the researcher and the educator. We then describe or outline the set of capabilities that will be needed to design and manage future systems, and also the limitations of the current simulation tools in meeting these needs. Finally, we conjecture about the kind of simulation-based design and planning capabilities that might exist in future manufacturing systems
