A tutorial submitted by Kevin Hulme, program manager with UB’s Stephen Still Institute for Sustainable Transportation and Logistics (ISTL) is one of three nominated finalists for the Best Tutorial award at the upcoming Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC).
Approximately 30 tutorials are considered each year in the competitive tutorial track at I/ITSEC. All three Best Tutorial nominees will be presented live at the upcoming I/ITSEC.
According to Hulme, his tutorial examines some critical simulation techniques.
“We examine the powerful cross-synergy that continues to exist between serious-minded training applications and simulator-based entertainment experiences,” says Hulme. “This notion continues to pervade diverse modeling and simulation applications across training, simulation, and education within academia, industry, and government alike.”
Hulme also submitted a second tutorial that presents a comprehensive overview of transportation systems modeling and simulation, including contemporary applications in mobility, sustainability, and logistics. This topic was also accepted for presentation in November.
The I/ITSEC is the world’s largest modeling, simulation and training event. The conference consists of peer-reviewed paper presentations, tutorials, special events, professional workshops, a commercial exhibit hall, serious games competition, and STEM events for teachers and secondary students. The conference is sponsored by the National Training & Simulation Association, a subsidiary of the National Defense Industrial Association.
Hulme will present the tutorials at the 2023 I/ITSEC in Orlando, Florida, this November.
