History of the winter simulaltion conference: Renaissance perod (1975–1982)

This paper discusses the history of the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) during the period 1975-1982. This includes the collapse of the WSC in 1975, the rebirth of WSC in 1976, and the subsequent annual conferences and other significant WSC events for the period of 1976 through 1982. This was a period of great change for the WSC, with an emphasis on developing procedures to insure the long-term continuity and success of the conference.
