Description
The SimTecT 2003 Simulation Conference and Exhibition, will be held 26-29 May 2003 in Adelaide, Australia.
Papers and keynotes will particularly address the Defence, Manufacturing, Transport and Medical sectors - but, together with the exhibtion, will be of interest to others as well.
SimTect has been held annually since 1996, and is becoming the premier simulation conference in the Australasian region.
A feature is the quality of the papers, largely because of the contribution of the Defence Science Technology Organisation to the Technical Comittee which vets the papers.
Keynote Speakers
Simulation and Defence Experimentation - Air Vice Marshal John N. Blackburn, Head Policy Guidance and Analysis Division, Royal Australian Air Force
Grand Challenges in Modeling and Simulation - Dr. R. Bowen Loftin, Director of Simulation Programs, Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center, USA
Training systems for the Joint Strike Fighter Program - Ms Jo Anne N. Puglisi, Program Manager, Lockheed Martin Information Systems, USA
Improving Critical Outcomes through Immersive Simulation - Ms Fiona Love, Director of Training & Development, State Rail Authority of NSW, Australia
Simulation and the Digital Factory - Mr Rob Barlow, President, DELMIA, Japan
Discovery and Innovation in the 21st Century - Mr Robert Bishop, Chairman and CEO, Silicon Graphics, USA
Workshops
On Monday 26 May, a series of workshops will allow a more in-depth presentation of simulation topics:
Introduction to Simulation and Virtual Environments - Paul Beckett, RMIT
Introduction to HLA - David Stratton, University of Ballarat
Simulation Over the Internet - Julian Mallet, MÄK Technologies
Computer Generated Forces / Behaviour Representation - Dr Simon Goss, DSTO and Dr Andrew Lucas, Agent Oriented Software
Simulation Interoperability - Panel Presentation
Medical Symposium
Held in conjunction with SimTecT 2003 on Monday 26 May, the Medical Symposium will include presentations on simulation technology and clinical applications. Participants can also tour the exhibition.
Wargame Cafe
Drop into a special part of the Exhibition area where PC "Games" are used for serious purposes.
Site Visits
There is a site visit on Thursday 29 May to the RAAF AP-3 Orion Advanced Flight Simulator and to the Defence Science and Technology facilities at Salisbury.
The AP-3C Advanced Flight Simulator provides RAAF pilots and flight engineers with a detailed replica of the recently upgraded AP-3C Orion cockpit. The simulator is based on civil full flight simulator technology, with extensive modifications to provide training in mission related capabilities of the Orion aircraft.
These visits will give participants a chance to look at some of the latest simulation related technology used in Defence.
