Education: Instructional and education methods, theories, and approaches to promote or advance learning. This subcommittee is seeking papers on the principles of learning, including the processes, lessons learned and qualitative and quantitative evaluation applied in academic or organizational programs. Papers in this subcommittee focus on the specific application of these principles in the areas of advanced distributed learning, interactive multimedia, immersive learning environments, blended learning solutions and courseware development.
Bob Johnson - Emerging Concepts and Innovative Technologies Subcommittee

EMERGING CONCEPTS and INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES SUBCOMMITTEE

Suite 410
Philadelphia, PA 19112
Phone: (856) 264-2263
E-mail: rjohnson@mckean-defense.com

Emerging Concepts & Innovative Technologies: Papers describing Emerging Concepts or Innovative Technologies founded in scientific principles. This subcommittee is seeking papers that discuss emerging and innovative technologies, methodologies, or concepts associated with training, simulation and education. Candidate papers should thoroughly describe a concept, methodology or technology and the challenges that it is intended to address. In reviewing these papers, this subcommittee is especially interested in understanding how this concept or technology advances the state of the art, and how it demonstrates or acknowledges prior related work in the subject area, rather than its use in a specific application for training, education, or simulation. Special consideration will be given to papers that incorporate solid research principles while presenting results of this research and providing detailed conclusions/recommendations.
 

HUMAN PERFORMANCE SUBCOMMITTEE

Phone: (407) 414-1463
E-mail: emerick_catherine@bah.com

Human Performance: Work that addresses the role of the human as an integral component within systems and in mission accomplishment. Representative topics that address the application of theories, methods, tools, performance measurement and principles of Human Performance Design, Human Systems Integration (HSI), and Human Factors. Specifically, the committee seeks papers that address human performance as the explicit desired outcome, enabled through the on-demand availability of structured knowledge, task and decision-aids, human-in-the-loop design, and meaningful support resources. Papers address topics such as usability/user experience, community of practice, organizational effectiveness, interactive electronic technical manuals (IETM), electronic performance support systems (EPSS), job aids, performance centered design, human-computer interface (HCI), maintenance mentoring, decision support systems, knowledge management tools, immersive stimulation techniques, situational awareness, human performance assessment, and the application of HSI. Papers supported by human performance data gathered from innovative, scientifically valid experiments are especially valued.

Policy, Standards, Management & Acquisition: Non-technical policy and management issues related to the acquisition and implementation of education and training, training systems, courseware and training enablers. This subcommittee is seeking papers related to issues of Policy, Standards, Management & Acquisition. POLICY: Government or commercial directives regarding the methodologies, processes and/or procedures implemented while acquiring training programs. STANDARDS: Issues and topics related to the requirements for standards development to support the training, simulation, and education community. MANAGEMENT: Issues directly related to the administration of programs and acquisitions, including challenges, successes, risks, finances and the impact of these of the training system and/or the trainees. ACQUISITION: Topics related to the acquisition of training systems; services, facilities and courseware; and the success with which these training efforts meet their designed goals.
 

SIMULATION SUBCOMMITTEE

11409 Swift Water Circle
Orlando, FL  32817
Phone/Cell: (407) 927-4915
E-mail: bill.gerber@earthlink.net

Simulation: The science of modeling and simulation, including simulation architectures or techniques, and the representation of synthetic entities or environments for use in simulation, training, rehearsal, gaming or analysis. We seek papers on the theory and application of M&S, including development work processes, technical challenges, lessons learned, and innovations associated with creating, interacting with and maintaining modules and simulation systems. Typical topics of interest include: the evolution of M&S technology; the use of hardware-in-the-loop; the interoperability of heterogeneous simulations; and the methodology used to create and present physical and behavioral representations of entities and environments within live, virtual, and constructive simulations.

TRAINING SUBCOMMITTEE

Scott Ariotti
DiSTI
11301 Corporate Blvd  Suite 100
Orlando, FL  32817
Phone: (407)206-3390
FAX: (407) 206-2296
E-mail: sariotti@disti.colm

Training: The application of technologies and integration of systems into training system solutions. This subcommittee is focused on practical concepts and technologies applied at the training systems level. Typical topics include tools, integration techniques, and innovations relating to interoperability, crew coordination, individual and collective team training, legacy system upgrades, and after action review (AAR) support. Emerging areas of interest include application of training systems to test and evaluation and vice versa, embedded and deployable training, and assessment of technology-enhanced training effectiveness. Lessonslearned documented with complete quantifiable data are encouraged. The subcommittee is interested in all phases of training system evolution: analysis, planning, development, deployment, and life cycle support.

BEST PAPER COMMITTEE

TBD

The Best Paper Committee is composed of representatives from government, industry and academia.  Each subcommittee will nominate a paper as a candidate for the Best Paper Award for the I/ITSEC 2011 Conference.   The Best Paper committee selects the winner from the best paper nominations submitted by  Education, Emerging Concepts and Innovation technologies, Human Performance, Policy Standards Management and Acquisition, Simulation, and Training Subcommittees.  The committee uses defined criteria in the evaluation of the nominated papers and presentations for the selection of the best paper winner for I/ITSEC 2011. The selection of the best paper represents the culmination of the I/ITSEC 2011 Conference, and to be nominated is considered an honor in the industry. The winner of the Best Paper Award and five finalists will be announced at the I/ITSEC 2011 closing ceremony. 2010 Best Papers.

TUTORIALS: I/ITSEC presents a tutorials program covering a diverse set of topics essential to the simulation, training, and education communities. This program provides opportunities in three areas: 1) foundational subjects, including preparation for Certification as Modeling and Simulation Professionals (CMSP); 2) refreshers and more advanced learning opportunities (needed to maintain certification); and 3) emerging topics of particular interest to I/ITSEC attendees. Each tutorial provides an opportunity for Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Most tutorials are 90 minutes in length but longer tutorials are acceptable when warranted.
