Nomination Process
Thank you for your interest in the National Center for Simulation (NCS) Modeling Simulation Hall of Fame (MSHF). I hope the following information will help you in nominating your candidate for enshrinement into the NCS MSHF.
The NCS MSHF was founded in March 2014 in Orlando, Florida and is on display in the South Concourse of the Orange County Convention Center. The principal objective of the NCS Hall of Fame is to honor and recognize individuals who have significantly contributed to advancements in modeling and simulation.
A nominee’s field or area of achievement is not limited only to defense. Significant contributions in other areas (e.g. medical/healthcare, technology, entertainment, transportation, education, homeland security, gaming, and other areas) will also be considered.
Eligibility requirements for submitting a nomination:
