Abstract: Many disciplines, such as Software Engineering, Automation, have sorted out and formed their own knowledge areas and constructed their Body of Knowledge to steer teaching and study efforts. Describing the composition of Modeling and Simulation body of knowledge from the perspective of knowledge area plays an important role in the simulation engineering education and the development of simulation technology. According to the needs of simulation teaching, the body of knowledge of simulation discipline is divided into three levels, knowledge area, knowledge unit and knowledge topic. On the basis of reviewing the current status of the research and the role of body of knowledge, a composition of knowledge areas of simulation discipline is proposed, which is divided into basic knowledge domain and frontier knowledge domain according to the degree of mature of knowledge areas. The meaning of each basic knowledge area is briefly described and its knowledge units are sorted out. The frontier knowledge domain of simulation discipline is discussed.

Key words: modeling and simulation discipline, knowledge engineering, body of knowledge, knowledge area, knowledge unit
