M&S Research Collection

At its Progress Drive location, IST maintains an extensive collection of research related to modeling and simulation science. This unique compendium augments the collection in the UCF modeling and simulation section of the main library and is supported in part by generous annual donations from G. Vincent Amico. Mr. Amico is a former Director of Engineering and Director of Research for what is now known as NAVAIR TSD, the NAVAIR Training Systems Division, Orlando, Florida. He is credited with over half a century's involvement in the world of simulation and training and was the first to use a commercial digital computer in a simulator. Vince is an active Coordinator of Industrial Affiliates, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Central Florida, and a member of the boards of directors of the National Center for Simulation and the Institute for Simulation and Training. Vince Amico in 2004 received an honorary PhD in Modeling and Simulation from UCF.

IST honored Vince for his contributions, which made possible construction of a new reading room to house the research collection. Go here to read the story. The reading room underwent yet another refurbishment to make it more convenient for study, small class sessions, presentations and other small group gatherings when IST's larger classrooms are occupied.

Enumerations and Bit-Encoded Values...
We receive numerous requests for "Enumerations and Bit-Encoded Values for Use With Protocols for DIS Applications." Updates to this document are held in the SISO Document Library. Follow this link to access a list of the most current downloadable files:

The UCF library has begun an extensive process of scanning and cataloging IST's research publications. Go to the online library listings to research titles in the M&S subject area.
 

Documents in the collection are available for reference on-site only. We are not able to circulate publications at this time. Photocopies of most IST documents may be supplied on request, however, subject to a duplication and handling charge.

Questions, constructive comments and suggestions are welcome.
