MODSIM WORLD 2008 Pre-Conference Workshops
Monday, September 15, 2008 - 1:00 PM– 5:00 PM
Workshop 2 - Suite 3: AB
Modeling and Simulation - An Introduction for Health and Medical Professionals
Workshop 3 - Suite 4: DE
Introduction to Concept Development and Experimentation:
A Recognized Military Method
Workshop 4 - Suite 4: C
Introduction to Certified Modeling & Simulation Professional
Workshop 5 - Suite 4: AB
Business Development in the Modeling and Simulation Arena
In this workshop, attendees will be introduced to using simulations and Stella to teach Earth science as a system. Drs. S. Raj Chaudhury (CNU) and Lin H. Chambers (NASA Langley) will demonstrate how to utilize these tools in a classroom, “system dynamics modeling” environment. They will also demonstrate system dynamics as a computer modeling technique that can be used to produce dynamic simulation models for teaching and learning earth science as a system. The basics of a system dynamics software package called Stella will be introduced and modeling exercises that utilize the Stella software will be undertaken in the workshop. No prior modeling experience or use of Stella is necessary, however, participants are required to bring a lap top to the workshop.
Pre-Conference Workshop Leaders:
| Dr. Lin H. Chambers | Dr. S. Raj Chaudhury |
| Science Directorate | Department of Physics, Computer Science, and Engineering |
| NASA Langley Research Center | Christopher Newport University |
| Hampton, VA 23681 | Newport News, VA 23606 |
| Tele: 757-864-4371 Email | Tele: 757-594-8857 Email |
Logistics - Participants are REQUIRED to bring a lap top to the workshop.
Participation - Enrollment is limited to 30.
Registration is FREE and is “first come, first served”.
Modeling and Simulation - An Introduction for Health and
Medical Professionals - Suite 3: AB
Most health and medical professionals are hearing the terms "modeling" and "simulation" (M&S) with greater frequency in their disciplines. In this workshop, Drs. Holly Gaff (VMASC, ODU) and Gianluca DeLeo (VMASC, ODU) will cover the core concepts of M&S using tangible examples from health and medicine. Two major areas addressed will include: (1) simulator and physical simulation, and (2) mathematical modeling and computer simulations. No prior knowledge of M&S is expected. Participants will acquire a basic understanding of M&S in order to truly benefit from the subsequent MODSIM World Conference and appreciate how M&S is transforming healthcare.

Introduction to Concept Development and Experimentation:
A Recognized Military Method - Suite 4: DE
About This Workshop
Concept Development and Experimentation designates a method which allows us to predict, by way of experimentation, whether certain concepts, theoretical constructs, sub-systems or systems are apt to meet the requirements imposed by the transformation process and can be gainfully integrated into an overarching system.
Who Should Attend?
Any conference attendee who wants to augment their skill set with techniques found to be of value in getting new capability quickly into the hands of war fighter.
What Will You Learn?
The Instructors - Experienced practitioners from Allied Command Transformation (NATO) and Experienced practitioners from U.S. Joint Forces Command.
Participation - Enrollment is limited to 30.
Registration is FREE and is “first come, first served”.
Introduction to Certified Modeling and Simulation Professionals
- Suite 4: C
