The application of Information and Communication Technologies in emergency management environments is a challenging research topic; particularly, the applicability of C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) systems specifically designed for these environments. A key aspect in emergency management is the training of operatives at all lev...

Nowadays, the industrial sector and specially manufacturing companies, have a huge challenge trying to train the workforce while maintaining up to date with the technology, machinery and manufacturing techniques involved in the production process. For that reason this sector claims for effective, in time and quality, training methodologies that do not interrupt or interfere with the continuous ...

This paper shows a distributed simulation framework for tactical training in Networked Virtual Environment (NVE). These days the NVE technology for an operational tactical training system plays a significant role in military training courses. The existing military training simulation systems are mostly full simulated systems operating on single platform. They are to train individual’s operation...

Research Triangle Institute's (RTI) AVATALKTM technology enables natural interaction with computer generated virtual humans, linking theory of human behavior with virtual reality, knowledge representation, and natural language processing. AVATALK virtual humans act realistically without human intervention--action takes such form as choice of utterances, conversational expectancy, and branching ...

iran’s industry has had a considerable number of difficulties to perform so well as was expected in the post – revolutionary era. unfavorable legal, political environments combined with eight –year imposed war may be singled out as the root causes of such performances. however, this paper argues that our industry’s lack of realization of its dire need to adapt to the emerging unprecedented envi...

The task of automating and reducing the complexity process developing virtual training complexes is considered. analysis subject area showed need to move from a monolithic service-oriented version architecture. It found that use architecture in implementation limits possibility modernizing system, increases its software complexity, makes it difficult implement an interface for managing monitori...
