Event Description:

The 2014 AlaSim International Conference & Exposition brings together the greater modeling and simulation community from Alabama, North America, and the world. The conference is designed both to showcase the breadth and depth of the latest modeling and simulation activity, and to provide a forum for collecting, documenting, displaying and discussing the current state of M&S technology throughout the world. AlaSim International is organized by the Alabama Modeling and Simulation Council.

Speakers: Plenary speakers and industry experts will present project and program papers/briefings about simulation work planned and in-progress. Papers are of the high academic quality capable of surviving rigorous review.
Panel Discussions: Opportunities for open discussion with simulation subject experts. See panelist opportunities.
Workshops: An open and collaborative environment for the definition and creation of modeling and simulation products. See instructor opportunities.
Tutorials: To provide introductory and advanced training in current simulation technology. See tutor opportunities.
Exhibit Area: Where industry exhibitors will be displaying their latest simulation products and capabilities. See exhibitor opportunities.
Sponsorship Opportunities: Opportunities for sponsors to promote their products, message, and/or brand. See sponsor opportunities.

Speaker and Presenter Information

Thomas A. Baumbach

Chief Technical Officer

Tom Baumbach is Chief Technical Officer at Dynetics, where he serves as a key advisor in Dynetics’ cyber modeling and simulation activities as well as the company’s other technical pursuits.

He began his career as a systems analyst at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1968, where he wrote physics-based simulations of ballistic missile interceptors engaging threat maneuvering reentry vehicles. The engagement simulations formed the nucleus of more complex Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system models that evolved into a tool set to predict the effectiveness of game theoretic based preferential defense models for many-on-many battle management strategies. In its final form, the model included prompt nuclear effects as well as dust entrainment predictions based on a series of subscale HE tests and the erosion effects of the dust on interceptor controllability.
