The Advanced Simulation Technologies Conference (ASTC) is an annual spring conference sponsored by the Society for Computer Simulation International. The conference covers the state-of-the-art in simulation technologies and applications. Technologies covered include high-performance computing technologies, models and algorithms, GUI's visualization technologies, and communications. Applications disciplines covered include leading-edge high technologies such as telecommunication and computer systems; military, government & aerospace; and energy and industry. The conference includes Keynote speeches presented by technology and industry leaders, technical sessions, professional development courses and seminars, as well as vendor exhibits. Users, developers, innovators, managers, business leaders, scientists, engineers, and operators are invited to participate. Happenings of the ASTC `01 Saturday, April 21, 2001 ASTC 2001 Exhibition Area The exhibit area provides an opportunity to preview simulation hardware, software, applications and services. Displays and vendor presentations offer visitors a chance to examine and compare these products as well as to talk informally with those who develop them. All ASTC 2001 participants are welcome to visit the exhibit area and should plan on attending the exhibitor reception Monday evening.
For more information about exhibiting at the ASTC 2001, contact the SCS office. Tel. 858-277-3888, E-mail: sbranch@scs.org
Professional Development Seminar Sunday, April 22, 200 11:00–5:00 Jenifer McCormack, Larry Deschaine, PE – SAIC From Distributed Data to Optimal Solution: A Tutorial in Data Mining using Agent Technology, Equation Development using Linear Genetic Programming, and Solution Optimization Using Genetic Algorithms.
ASTC 2001 Social Event Please join us Tuesday evening (4/24) for a dinner cruise on Seattle?s Elliot Bay aboard a luxury vessel from Argosy Cruise Lines, Washington?s premiere cruise company. The upper deck offers both an open air and enclosed observation deck for a first hand look at the Seattle waterfront and city skyline and the scenic Northwest surroundings, a spectacular backdrop to the fine dinner service. There is a full service bar and a dance area on the main deck. Space is limited, so make your reservations with SCS now (on ASTC?01 registration form). Cost is $75.00 per person. For more information on Argosy Cruises see there website at http://www.argosycruises.com/flash.htm
ASTC `01 Keynote Speaker
Over the last decade, we have come to understand that the Department of Defense (DoD) no longer "drives" research in many high-tech information, communications and simulation areas in its traditional, historic role. There are, however, a number of areas of concern in the military simulation community that remain important today as we move forward in the development of major joint simulation programs for training, analysis and acquisition in the Department. The great progress achieved by industry, with the explosion of the Internet and ever increasing hardware performance, puts us on the threshold of achieving simulation capabilities that we were only able to dream about over the last 25 years. The Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) serves to lead and integrate the DoD Modeling and Simulation (M&S) community and leverage advances in science and technologies to serve the applications for our ultimate warfighter clients. The Defense M&S community has been contributing members and ideas to an "Integration Task Force" (ITF) to determine the M&S priority efforts for the department. This baseline assessment will form the "Objectives" section of the revised DoD M&S Master Plan, and serve to fill the gaps in those M&S technical areas and research topics that are most relevant to Defense needs and warfighter requirements for M&S. After setting these M&S objectives, we will look beyond the Defense community both into industry and other governmental organizations (such as NASA) for further collaboration. The ITF effort will also form a road map for future defense investments in critical M&S technologies. In some critical areas, defense will continue to pave the way for tomorrow's broad M&S needs. Key among these will be enhanced architectures and standards for interoperability, simulation-C4I interfaces, human behavior representations (cognitive logic), integrated natural environments, and enhanced algorithms for military operations/dynamics in the new world order. Mr. Fred Hartman is Chief of the Enterprise Division for the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO). He joined DMSO on May 1, 2000 as Technical Director of the Joint Simulation System (JSIMS). As a military operations research analyst in the Army, Mr. Hartman was the model manager for a high-resolution combat simulation and developed a study methodology for a major Army study, Management of Change, combining automated network analysis techniques with traditional management tools to solve complex force structure allocation problems. While on active duty, Mr. Hartman served as a procurement programs analyst in Army Program Analysis and Evaluation and as executive assistant and analyst for the Deputy Under Secretary of the Army (Operations Research). Mr. Hartman joined CACI, Inc. in 1981 and progressively grew from Department Manager to Executive Vice President by building an analysis group consisting of professionals in operations research, software engineering, logistics engineering, financial analysis, and software development. During this ten-year period, Mr. Hartman conceived, designed and developed a family of resource predictive models, and developed through a series of simulations and data applications, the overarching framework for a high-level decision support system for Army headquarters. Mr. Hartman also developed automated simulations and tools supporting both Army and Naval aviation logistics systems. Mr. Hartman was chief operating office, co-founder and board member for Applied Solutions International, Inc. from 1992 to 1995. This start-up technology company served as consultants and subcontractors specializing in services for the defense industry, commercial clients and international trade. During this period, Mr. Hartman led an evaluation mission for automated manufacturing in Beijing and Shanghai, China. Sponsored by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the mission evaluated two transducer research and development programs for manufacturing applications. In 1995 Mr. Hartman joined the Institute for Defense Analyses as a modeling and simulation consultant to the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Readiness), primarily responsible for oversight of the JSIMS program. In early 2000, Mr. Hartman led the architecture group for the JSIMS program transition team.
