Modeling & Simulation Education for the Acquisition and T&E Workforce: FY07 Deliverable Package

This report was prepared for CAPT Mike Lilienthal, PhD, CPE, and funded by ASN (RDA) CHENG and the Modeling and Simulation Coordination Office (MSCO).This technical report presents the deliverables for calendar year 2007 for the "Educating the Modeling and Simulation Workforce" project performed for the DoD Modeling and Simulation Steering Committee. It includes the results for spirals one and two. Spiral one is an analysis of the educational needs of the program manager, systems engineer, and test and evaluation workforces against a set of educational skill requirements developed by the project team. This is referred to as the 'learning matrix'. Spiral two is a set of module and course matrices, along with delivery options, that meets the educational needs indentified in spiral one. This is referred to as the 'learning architecture'. Supporting materials, such as case studies and a handbook, are included. These documents serve as the design framework for spirals three and four, to be completed in CY2008, and which involve the actual production and testing of the courses in the learning architecture and their longitudinal assessment. This report includes the creative work of a seven university consortium and a group of M&S stake-holders, together comprising over 60 personnel.ASN (RDA) CHENG and the Modeling and Simulation Coordination Office (MSCO).This report was prepared for CAPT Mike Lilienthal, PhD, CPE, and funded by ASN (RDA) CHENG and the Modeling and Simulation Coordination Office (MSCO)

Projective model for the moving image

Thesis (S.M. in Art, Culture and Technology)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, June 2012."June 2012." Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 72-74).Humanity's desire to record events happening in time has spawned a lineage of moving-image transcription systems, from early cinematographs to contemporary digital camcorder equipment. These technologies have arisen, however, amongst a setting of concentrated discourse surrounding the nature of what it means to exist as a durational being, also happening in time. This thesis will argue that the depiction of events as captured by these technologies is constricting, limited to conveying a strict sequencing of moments through a narrow spatial window, and so wholly inadequate to reflect a nuanced dialogue. I propose a new visual model, one that can assist in conceptualizing the complexity of concurrent remembering, perceiving, and anticipating. Through a combination of my research into existing discourses and the creation of new models of reading the moving image, I have come to the fold (with deep indebtedness to the thinkers and writers who have proffered this model) as an aesthetic structure capable of visualizing, or diagramming, some of the afore-mentioned strata of complexity resistant to the hegemony of linear temporality. To model the fold, I centrally engage the act of reading the moving image, as a definitive temporal act. I redirect the movement and orientation of the eye as it spans the moving image, to make way for new methods of reading, thinking, and being. Digital manipulation and merging of moving video images comprises the material for these models. Finally, this thesis will examine popular practices of how durational events are recorded, stored, shared in the digital environment, and subsequent implications for the writing of historical narrative, where vast and dispersed authorship can contribute to the emergence of conversant modes of being: potential for redemption in the chaotic.by Elizabeth Anne Watkins.S.M.in Art, Culture and Technolog

Augmenting the field experience: a student-led comparison of techniques and technologies

In this study we report on our experiences of creating and running a student fieldtrip exercise which allowed students to compare a range of approaches to the design of technologies for augmenting landscape scenes. The main study site is around Keswick in the English Lake District, Cumbria, UK, an attractive upland environment popular with tourists and walkers. The aim of the exercise for the students was to assess the effectiveness of various forms of geographic information in augmenting real landscape scenes, as mediated through a range of techniques and technologies. These techniques were: computer-generated acetate overlays showing annotated wireframe views from certain key points; a custom-designed application running on a PDA; a mediascape running on the mScape software on a GPS-enabled mobile phone; Google Earth on a tablet PC; and a head-mounted in-field Virtual Reality system. Each group of students had all five techniques available to them, and were tasked with comparing them in the context of creating a visitor guide to the area centred on the field centre. Here we summarise their findings and reflect upon some of the broader research questions emerging from the project

Faculty Publications and Creative Works 2002

Introduction One of the ways in which we recognize our faculty at the University of New Mexico is through Faculty Publications & Creative Works. An annual publication, it highlights our faculty\u27s scholarly and creative activities and achievements and serves as a compendium of UNM faculty efforts during the 2001 calendar year. Faculty Publications & Creative Works strives to illustrate the depth and breadth of research activities performed throughout our University\u27s laboratories, studios and classrooms. We believe that the communication of individual research is a significant method of sharing concepts and thoughts and ultimately inspiring the birth of new ideas. In support of this, UNM faculty during 2002 produced over 2,278 works, including 1,735 scholarly papers and articles, 64 books, 195 book chapters, 174 reviews, 84 creative works and 26 patented works. We are proud of the accomplishments of our faculty which are in part reflected in this book, which illustrates the diversity of intellectual pursuits in support of research and education at the University of New Mexico.
