Jeff Rothal, Operations Research Specialist DoD and Other Government OR Sites Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Center for Operational Analysis Army Modeling and Simulation Office Electronic Books Lecture Notes in Computer Science   Springer Modeling and Simulation: Linking Entertainment and Defense National Research Council, 1997 hard copy at QA76.9.C65 M622 1997 in the GENERAL collection Modeling Human and Organizational Behavior: Application to Military Simulations National Academy Press, 1998 hard copy at U22.3 .M58 1998 in the GENERAL collection) Explores both entertainment and military applications of modeling and simulation technology and examines ways in which the two communities can better leverage each others capabilities to strengthen the overall technology base. It identifies common research challenges in immersive synthetic environments, networked simulation, and computer-generated characters, as well as the hardware and software tools needed to create simulated environments. Nonlinear Science (and the Navy) National Academy Press, 1998 Nonlinear phenomena are pervasive in problems relevant to the Navy. Potential novel nonlinear approaches to key Navy technologies in areas such as signal processing, turbulence, and drag and wake reduction are largely locked in predevelopment phases, lacking the mathematical and physical tools needed to understand and exploit nonlinear phenomena. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) staff can play a critical role in developing these tools or in importing them from the external scientific community. The Panel on Mathematics (Nonlinear Science and the Navy) perceives a significant impact of nonlinear science in several areas relevant to naval needs, including signal processing and sensors (e.g., sonar), robotics and adaptive control, turbulent and reacting flows, lasers and optics, and materials science. Probability and Algorithms National Academy Press, 1992 Some of the hardest computational problems have been successfully attacked through the use of probabilistic algorithms, which have an element of randomness to them. Concepts from the field of probability are also increasingly useful in analyzing the performance of algorithms, broadening our understanding beyond that provided by the worst-case or average-case analyses. This book surveys both of these emerging areas on the interface of the mathematical sciences and computer science. Statistics, Testing, and Defense Acquisition: New Approaches and Methodological Improvements National Academy Press, 1999 hard copy at UF503 .S7274 1999 in the GENERAL collection The Panel on Statistical Methods for Testing and Evaluating Defense Systems was charged with examining the statistical techniques currently used in the design and evaluation of operational tests in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and making recommendations for improvement StatSoft Electronic Statistics Textbook StatSoft, Inc., c2001 Offers training in the understanding and application of statistics. The material was developed at the StatSoft R&D department based on many years of teaching undergraduate and graduate statistics courses and covers a wide variety of applications, including laboratory research (biomedical, agricultural, etc.), business statistics and forecasting, social science statistics and survey research, data mining, engineering and quality control applications, and many others.

Organizations ACM Special Interest Group on Simulation and Modeling Association for Computing Machinery The Mission of SIGSIM is to become the world-wide leader in providing professional services on modeling, simulation and systems analysis. SIGSIM actively seeks to meet this objective in a variety of ways. including: sponsorship of both the Winter Simulation Conference and the Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation. American Statistical Association American Statistical Association Spanning more than 160 years, the American Statistical Association (ASA) serves statisticians, quantitative scientists, and users of statistics across a wealth of academic areas and applications. The organization seeks to set a standard of statistical excellence wherever it is applied in the biological, socio-economic, and physical sciences. In education, the ASA is a forum for emerging research as well as current educational practices. ASA also coordinates the network for preparing statisticians at the pre- and postgraduate levels and insures that the interests of statistics educators are represented through liaison with government and industry. Association of European Operational Research Societies EURO is the Association of European Operational Research Societies within IFORS, the International Federation of Operational Research Societies. Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) The Society's mission is to promote the discovery and exchange of knowledge concerning the characteristics of human beings that are applicable to the design of systems and devices of all kinds. Institute for Creative Technologies In August 1999, the U.S. Army awarded a five-year contract to the University of Southern California to create the Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT). The ICT's mandate is to enlist the resources and talents of the entertainment and game development industries and to work collaboratively with computer scientists to advance the state of immersive training simulation. The goal of the ICT is the creation of the Experience Learning System (ELS), which provides the ability to learn through active, as opposed to passive, systems. In addition to specific military training tasks, the ELS will have applications for a broad range of educational initiatives.
