    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Russell Ackoff propose à ceux qui s'occupent de recherches opérationnelle, industrielle, et de gestion, d'agir en ‘systems scientists’, et pourtant il affirme que “‘systems science’ n'est pas une science” (TIMS Interfaces 2 (4), 41). A. C. Fabergé (Science 184, 1330) remarque, qu'à l'origine, le but de ceux qui s'occupaient de recherche opérationnelle était d'agir en hommes de science ‘instruits à observer’. Hugh J. Miser (Operational Research 22, 903) considère ‘la recherche opérationnelle comme science’, notant que ses progrès sont en effet de nature cyclique. La présente étude délimite explicitement les attributs de la méthode de la simulation. Il est démontré que la simulation est à la fois un art et une science; sa méthode, lorsqu'utilisée correctement, repose sur l'observation validée et le modèle vérifié. L'étude délimite les moyens actuels dont nous disposons pour vérifier et valider cycliquement les modèles bâtis à l'aide d'ordinateurs, établissant ainsi leur crédibilité. La nature complexe des phénomènes étudiés par les sciences sociales peut être comprise à l'aide de la simulation: la méthode dont se servent les hommes de science qui étudient les systèmes (‘les scientistes systémiques’).
    Notes: Abstract Operational researchers, management scientists, and industrial engineers have been asked by Russell Ackoff to become ‘systems scientists’, yet he stated that ‘Systems Science is not a science’. (TIMS Interfaces, 2 (4), 41). A. C. Fabergé (Science 184, 1330) notes that the original intent of operational researchers was that they be scientists, ‘trained to observe’. Hugh J. Miser (Operations Research 22, 903), views ‘operations research as a science’, noting that its progress indeed is of a cyclic nature. The present paper delineates explicitly the attributes of simulation methodology. Simulation is shown to be both an art and a science; its methodology, properly used, is founded both on confirmed (“validated”) observation and scrutinised (“verified”) art work. The paper delineates the existing procedures by which computer-directed models can be cyclically scrutinised and confirmed and therefore deemed credible. The complexities of the phenomena observed by social scientists are amenable to human understanding by properly applied simulation; the methodology of the scientist of systems (the systemic scientist).
