Subcommittee Members' Handbook

	EDUCATION SUBCOMMITTEE Gerald Dreggors Northrop Grumman 2721 Discovery Drive Ste 100 Orlando, FL 32826 Phone: (321) 607-9199 FAX: (321) 235-3879 E-mail: gerald.dreggors@ngc.com
Education: This subcommittee seeks papers that discuss the development and application of instructional strategies, methods, theories that promote or advance learning. Papers should clearly articulate advances made in development and application of methods, theories and strategies, across all phases of the training lifecycle (analysis, design, delivery and evaluation), to promote learning. Of particular interest are papers that report qualitative and/or quantitative data about the application of methods and theories using new media types. Conceptual papers that discuss continuous improvements to military education should include quantitative and qualitative data that supports the papers findings. Emerging areas of interest include individual, team, collective, joint, and coalition training with a focus on individualized learning, adaptive curriculum, leadership development.
	EMERGING CONCEPTS and INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES SUBCOMMITTEE Mark Soodeen CAE 8585 Cote-de-Liesse St.Laurent, Quebec H4T1G6 Canada Phone: (514) 341-2000 x 2515 E-mail: smark@cae.com
Emerging Concepts & Innovative Technologies: This subcommittee is seeking papers that discuss emerging and innovative technologies, methodologies, or concepts associated with training, simulation and education across the spectrum of government, industry, academia and international. 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 SYSTEMS ENGINEERING SUBCOMMITTEE Anne Little Addx Corporation 4900 Seminary Road Suite 570 Alexandria, VA 22311 Phone: (571) 257-4780 E-mail: alittle@addxcorp.com
Human Systems Engineering: This committee seeks papers that address the role of the human as an integral component within systems and in mission accomplishment. Papers should 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 Human Systems Interface (HSI) technologies. Submissions should address the application of theories; methods; tools; performance measurement; and principles of Human Performance Design, HSI, and Human Factors. Specifically, the committee seeks papers (supported by the collection of data provided by the human within the learning environment) that address human performance enabled through on-demand availability of structured knowledge, task and decision aids, human-centered design, and fielded systems that leverage and extend the capabilities of the warfighting team. Papers supported by human performance data gathered from innovative, scientifically valid experiments are especially valued.
	POLICY, STANDARDS, MANAGEMENT and ACQUISITION SUBCOMMITTEE Mike Motko Qinetiq, Ltd. 1802 North Alafaya Trail Orlando, FL 32825 Phone/Cell: (407) 600-5395 E-mail: michael.motko@qinetiq.com
Policy, Standards, Management & Acquisition: This subcommittee is seeking non-technical papers related to policy and management issues associated with the acquisition and implementation of education, training, courseware and simulations. Papers should focus on government or commercial directives regarding the methodologies, processes, and standards development that support various simulation communities. Papers should identify challenges, successes, risks, financial impacts, and the impact of the topic area on overall design goals. Papers that relate to the program management and acquisition of programs will also be considered. Papers should provide qualitative and quantitative data to help substantiate outcomes discussed within each paper.
	SIMULATION SUBCOMMITTEE John Aughey The Boeing Company P.O. Box 516 MC S288-5860 St. Louis, MO 63166-0516 Phone/Cell: (314) 233-4279 E-mail: john.h.aughey@boeing.com
Simulation: This subcommittee seeks papers on the applied science of modeling and simulation, including simulation architectures or techniques, as well as the representation of synthetic entities or environments for use in training, rehearsal, gaming or analysis. Papers should present and explain innovative theories and applications of modeling and simulation. Discussions should detail the technical challenges, lessons learned, and unique developments associated with creating, interacting with, and maintaining simulation systems. Typical topics of interest include: the evolution of modeling and simulation 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 Lisa Scott Holt Intelligent Automation, Inc. 15400 Calhoun Drive Suite 400 Rockville, MD 20855 Phone: (301) 294-5212 E-mail: lholt@i-a-i.com
Training: This subcommittee is seeking papers that discuss the application of innovative concepts, methods and technologies to create effective training solutions. Papers should present a design framework based on literature, analysis of current solutions and training needs, and practical application. Popular topic areas include training strategies, integration-techniques, interoperability, individual and collective team training, crew coordination, and legacy system upgrades. Evaluations of training effectiveness and lessons learned, documented with quantifiable data, are also encouraged. Emerging areas of interest include medical simulation-based training, game-based learning, and mobile and virtual training. The subcommittee is interested in all phases of training system design and development including analysis, planning, design, development, deployment, evaluation and life cycle support.
