Modeling & Simulation Multi-Con

Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Multi-Con

Growing M&S Capabilities through Collaboration 

25 September - MODSIM WORLD Interim Event
MODSIM WORLD 2012 is a unique multi-disciplinary international conference for the exchange of modeling and simulation knowledge, research and technology across industry, government and academia.  The 2012 event is a one-day event bridging the fall 2011 MODSIM WORLD event to its new timeslot in the spring of 2013.  Focus areas for the 2012 event, like previous MODSIM WORLD events, include Transportation/Logistics, Medical/Healthcare, Education/Workforce Development, Manufacturing, and Defense/Cyberwarfare.

26 September - National Modeling and Simulation Coalition (NMSC) Business Meeting
This event is open to all interested parties, but only members of the Coalition (NMSC) have voting privileges.  Governor Robert F. McDonnell (Commonwealth of Virginia) will deliver a Keynote Address at 3 p.m.  Members of the Coalition will discuss and adopt a Coalition Policy and Guidance and elect the incoming Board of Governors.   Additionally, the five standing committees will finalize and present their action plans to the Coalition at this meeting.  The standing committees are: Technology, Research and Development; Education and Professional Development; Industrial Development;
Business Practice; Communications/Outreach and Public Awareness.    

27 September – Enabling Training Technologies for Joint Force 2020
As our forces move towards their post-Operation Enduring Freedom posture, the joint training environment must be compelling and engaging.  The Joint Staff J7 / Joint and Coalition Warfighting will hold conversations to help identify what Cloud technologies/techniques are available to assist in delivering to multiple (currently 51) worldwide locations.  Innovators in development and exploitation of Cloud technology will be invited to present research and lead discussions on commercial standards, security issues, and replicating operational environments.  The workshop will seek to examine enabling technologies in the areas of (1) web-based services, (2) security, and (3) emerging technologies and frameworks, to provide an agile training and exercise environment that reflects the complexities and uncertainty of the operating environment and challenges the JF 2020 warfighter.

27 September - ODU VMASC Technology Review and Open House
The Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center (VMASC) will open its doors to the community to build relationships and foster increased awareness of the wealth of M&S research and development taking place in Hampton Roads.  VMASC will demonstrate modeling and simulation applications in medical and healthcare, defense and regional security, economic development planning and more.  A full day of presentations, demonstrations and networking opportunities is planned.
