The Bernard P. Zeigler Papers, 1962-2017, consists of files containing technical reports and early journal articles from when Zeigler was a graduate student and assistant professor at the University of Michigan. It also includes files from unpublished books, as well as presentations and related materials. Bernard P. Zeigler is Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona. In 1962, he received a B.S. in Engineering Physics from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1964, and a Ph.D. in Computer/Communication Sciences from the University of Michigan in 1968. Zeigler is best known for his theoretical work concerning modeling and simulation performed according to general systems theory, and is well published in his field. He has held faculty appointments at the University of Michigan (1969-1975, 1980-1981), the Weizmann Institute in Israel (1975-1980), Wayne State University (1981-1984), The University of Arizona (1985-2010), and Arizona State University (2005-2008). While in Arizona, Zeigler served as Co-Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Modeling and Simulation (ACIMS). He is currently affiliated with the Center of Excellence in Command, Control, Communications, Computing and Intelligence (C4I Center) at George Mason University and is also the Chief Scientist at RTSync Corp.

This collection contains materials collected over the course of Brian W. Hollocks' career from the 1960s to 1980s. Included are numerous computer simulation manuals and user guides created through operational research conducted by the United Steel Companies in the United Kingdom, as well as instruction sheets, circuit boards, and a video cassette. Brian W. Hollocks is a retired Professor of Management Science and Information Systems at Bournemouth University and was the INTEL Chair in Computer-Supported Co-operation. He is a Chartered (Mechanical) Engineer and holds a Ph.D. in Management Science from Southampton University. He taught and researched on simulation, computer-supported cooperative work, knowledge management, and artificial intelligence. Before his career in academia, Hollocks worked in business and industry, primarily in operational research and software development and marketing. Less

The Robert Sargent Papers, 1961-2002, include teaching materials, publications, research files, presentations, and data tapes documenting his work as a Professor at Syracuse University and on behalf of the United States Air Force. There are also materials, including conference programs, documenting Sargent’s involvement with the Winter Simulation Conference and other professional organizations and meetings. A list of books related to simulation donated to NC State University Libraries by Robert Sargent and individually cataloged may be found here. Robert G. Sargent studied simulation methodology and modeling at the University of Michigan. After completing his Ph.D. in 1966, he joined the faculty at Syracuse University, where he taught simulation until retiring in the late 1990s. Sargent made significant contributions to several areas of simulation research and software development and was widely involved in professional service activities. Less
