Who We Are
IST is an internationally recognized research
institute that focuses on advancing human-centered modeling
and simulation technology and increasing
our understanding of simulation's role
in training and education. The institute in 2012 celebrated 30 years of M&S research achievement.
You can read a brief account of those years here. |
IST's newest building, PIII, continues the partnerships forged among UCF, Florida, local industry and DoD. Right next to Partnership II, PIII houses Army and Marine Corps units, the National Center for Simulation and IST training rooms, laboratories and some administrative offices. |
|
The five-story
Partnership II building is home to IST administrative
headquarters and administrative and research
staff. Other tenants include elements of DoD simulation and training, UCF Advanced Distributed
Learning and Team Performance laboratories. |
Founded in 1982 as a research unit of the University
of Central Florida and reporting directly
to the Vice President
for Research and Commercialization, the institute provides a wide
range of research and information services for the modeling, simulation and
training community. Faculty and staff are distributed among IST's three
Central Florida Research Park buildings,
Partnership II (left), Partnership III (above) and the Simulation and Training Technology Center
(below).
The
Sergeant First Class Paul Ray Smith Simulation and Training
Technology Center houses elements of the US Army's Research, Engineering and
Development Command; space for a UCF incubator company and two IST simulation labs
connected with Army research.
