M&S has the necessary theory and substance to be taught as an academic discipline • M&S should be taught as a discipline in itself • M&S is an “infrastructure” discipline that is necessary to support integration of the partial knowledge of other disciplines needed in applications • M&S is a discipline that has a robust theory based on dynamic systems, computer science and an ontology of the domain • The theory and ontology characterize M&S as distinct in relation to other related disciplines • The theory/ontology are necessary components of a body of knowledge needed to professionally practice M&S in any of its aspects
