M&S Research Collection

The university library maintains an extensive collection of research related to modeling and simulation science. This unique compendium—you can find it here—contains the majority of IST's modeling and simulation publications. The collections are supported in part by generous annual donations from G. Vincent and Beth 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. In 2006 IST moved the Amico collection to temporary storage in the Partnership II building, where the collection awaits further cataloging and reorganization.

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:

To get the "Final Draft, Proposed IEEE Standard Communication Architecture for Distributed Interactive Simulation (CADIS)" June28, 1993, download the (5 MB) PDF file HERE.

Last time we looked, the original 1995 1278.1 could be found as a pdf at
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel1/3700/10849/00499701.pdf?tp=&arnumber=499701&isnumber=10849

The UCF library scanned and cataloged most of IST's research publication archives. Go to the online library listings (start with the "you can find it here" link ) 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 to the UCF library; however, they are subject to a duplication and handling charge.
