DoD has developed simulation standards over 25 years that can inform medical simulation. Standards are needed for system design, interoperability, and synthetic environments. For interoperability, a common model ontology, shared model proxies, network services, and network protocols are important. Enumerations help encode data understood by different programs. Military and medical communities could collaborate on standards if able to bridge differences in vocabulary, needs, and funding.

Title: Simulation in Surgical Education: Innovation to reduce training time, increase case access, increase expertise, and reduce errors Description: This seminar will explore the use of simulation and virtual reality in surgical education. These tools have been shown to improve surgical skills and reduce errors, which both have a direct impact on the cost of education and surgical delivery. Modern computer and simulation technology is much more capable than just a few years ago and leading organizations are creating all of the pieces necessary to build effective surgical trainers that incorporate virtual reality and accurate models of the human body. Simulation, virtual reality, and game-based systems will be the next major modality in surgical education. Presenter: Dr. Roger Smith has been a leading researcher and developers of simulations, virtual worlds, and game-based systems for over 20 years. He has worked on dozens of military simulation systems and is now focused on the surgical and healthcare domain. He has been on the faculty of four universities and is currently a Graduate Faculty Scholar at the University of Central Florida. He holds a PhD in computer science, a Doctorate in management, an MS in Statistics, and an MBA. He is currently the Chief Technology Officer for the Nicholson Center for Surgical Advancement at Florida Hospital.
The components within a simulation system support increasing complexity and allow the system to grow and spread over many computers. This diagram illustrates the most dominant functionality found in many major simulation products. A specific product will include additional layers or components to meet its specific needs, but the components shown here are found in some form in almost all large simulation products. 1) Hardware and Networks. 2) Operating System and Distribution Management. 3) Data Management. 4) Event and Object Management. 5) Time Management. 6) Synthetic Environment. 7) Models. 8) User Interfaces. 9) Translators.
