    • Fall 2001:  EEL6908 Independent Study: Distributed Modeling and Simulation
        This will be a focused study on problems in distributed modeling and simulation. Students will be provided with foundational material on modeling and simulation, and will build on this foundation by studying current research papers and conducting a research project. If you would like further information about this independent study opportunity, please contact me.


    Research

      I am primarily interested in simulation, especially distributed and multi-resolution simulation, and computer generated forces.  I am affiliated with the Intelligent Systems Laboratory and the Institute for Simulation and Training at UCF. 


      My current research interests include the following:

      • User-Composable Simulation
      • Selective resolution/fidelity simulation
      • Non-traditional User Interfaces for Simulation
      • Human Behavior Representation
      • Synthetic Natural Environment Representation and Reasoning


      Research projects include the following:

      • Multi-Resolution Simulation
      • Genetic Algorithms for Disaggregation
      • Behavior Continuity in Multi-fidelity, Multi-resolution Simulation
      • A Reusable HLA Voice Input/Output Capability for Human Simulation
      • Interoperability Testbed (Modular Interoperable Synthetic Environment, or ModISE)
      • Scaleable Combat Service Support
      • Multi-resolution Computer Architecture Simulation
      • Human Behavior Representation Challenge
      • Affective Computer Generated Forces
      • Dynamic Composability for Computer Generated Forces
      • Programmable Environment for Composable Simulation (PECoS)

      Attention Ph.D. Students: I currently have support available for Ph.D. students interested in working on their dissertations with me. There is one restriction on this support, namely, that the student must be a US citizen. Master's students will be considered, but preference will be given to Ph.D. students. If you qualify, please send me email.


      Send me mail.
