Abstract: Simulation body of knowledge (BOK) is the knowledge required to conduct Modeling and Simulation (M&S) activities, which is a logic system consisting of concepts, propositions, and inferences that are tightly related to each other. The simulation BOK organizes the M&S knowledge in a hierarchical way, reflects the composition and structure of the knowledge in the M&S domain. The establishment of the simulation BOK is crucial to advance the M&S research and education. The requirements for establishing the simulation BOK are summarized, three basic features of the simulation knowledge, practical, systematical, and epochal are discussed, the challenges of establishing the simulation BOK are analyzed, five ways to organize simulation knowledge are proposed, and a hierarchical structure for the simulation BOK is presented.

Key words: simulation discipline, body of knowledge, knowledge hierarchy, knowledge area
