Bernard P. Zeigler

Bernard P. Zeigler is Chief Scientist for RTSync Corp., and Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona, Tucson. He is internationally known for his 1976 foundational text Theory of Modeling and Simulation, revised for a third edition (Academic Press, 2018). He has published numerous books and research articles on the Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and of the Society for Modeling and Simulation, International (SCS). He was inducted into the SCS Modeling and Simulation Hall of Fame in 2009.

Zeigler is a co-Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Modeling and Simulation (ACIMS). RTSync is a spinoff of ACIMS devoted to transferring DEVS-based technology to general use. His latest book is, "Value-based Learning Healthcare Systems: Integrative modeling and simulation." He is also on the staff of the C4I Center of George Mason University.

Bernie enjoys collaborating with scientists and engineers, young and old, around the world. If you have a question about DEVS, he can either answer it or direct you to a network of colleagues who might be able to.

"Guide to Modeling and Simulation for Systems of Systems" has been translated into Chinese and is now available in that version.
