Guodong Shao, Charles R. McLean, Alexander Brodsky, Paul Ammann
Modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques are increasingly being used to solve problems and aid decision making in many different fields. Results of simulations are expected to provide reliable information for decision makers. But potential errors may be

Simulation-based Manufacturing Interoperability Standards and Testing

January 7, 2009
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Swee K. Leong, Charles R. McLean
Software applications for manufacturing systems developed using software from different vendors typically cannot work together. Develop¬ment of custom integrations of manufacturing software incurs costs and delays that hurt industry productivity and

ER Simulation Prototypes for Incident Management Training

May 19, 2008
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Charles R. McLean
First responders and incident management personnel need better training resources to prepare for future disasters. Live training exercises while valuable are often very expensive to organize and conduct. Training using modeling, simulation, and gaming

An Integrated Simulation Environment for Incident Management Training

September 1, 2007
Author(s)
Charles R. McLean, Sanjay Jain, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Guodong Shao
Simulation and gaming can support decision making through all phases of incident management including prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. A number of gaming and simulation tools have been developed for the purpose but they
