Conference Theme: Training: Both Military and Non-Military
In 2007, the US Department of Defense released the Defense Science Board Summer Study 2006 on "21st Century Strategic Technology Vectors". The study identified "Human Terrain Preparation" as a critical vector for the 21st Century. Within this topic, they identified Rapid Training and Continuous Learning; Automated Language Processing; and Human, Social, Cultural, and Behavioral Modeling as the key components of preparing the human terrain.
The US military is certainly not unique in concerning itself with these topics. Crisis managers, Emergency Medical providers, Traffic planners, Automobile manufacturers, Police forces and Shipping companies are vitally concerned with predicting human responses to stimulus with a view of ensuring that learning takes place as quickly and efficiently as possible.”

TOOLS ON PARADE SESSION -Monday, 15 September 2008 - 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
The simulation community is currently supported by a thriving commercial marketplace of software tools. Innovations in automation abound, although it is sometimes difficult for users to grasp the wide range of options regarding what is available today in the tool marketplace. The purpose of the session is to inform the SISO community of the wide variety of both government and commercial software tools that have been developed (or are being developed) to facilitate simulation activities. Representatives of various government and commercial organizations will provide an overview of the tools they have developed, including hosting information, key features, developmental status, and points of contact. Many of these representatives will be available for questions, further discussions, and demonstrations of their products in the exhibit area during the week. The length of the each presentation will be proportionally based on the number of presentations (five minute minimum, fifteen minute maximum). Priority for selection as a Tools on Parade presenter, and the time slots given, will first go to SISO Sponsors, then current SISO exhibitors, and then to current SISO attendees.
If you wish to be considered for presenting at the Fall 2008 SISO Conference's Tools on Parade session, please contact:
