I/ITSEC and a little bit more.

For those of you who don't know what I/ITSEC is, it's basically a military and industry meeting focusing on improving cooperation with simulation and education projects and it looks like one hell of a show. It involves a lot of exhibits from companies and academia alike on all aspects of modelling and simulation vectored toward a common goal.

In particular I'd like to point out a particular paper and presentation, Games -- Just How Serious Are They?, Roman/Brown (2008). I know I'm a little behind here, I would of liked to have posted on this paper earlier, but I unfortunately didn't have a blog in December last year. I've known how effective serious games could be in teaching all sorts of soldier skills for a very long time, and this paper/presentation to my mind presents undeniably valuable information to support that argument. So here are the links:
