SIAA Ray Page Simulation Achievement Award

Each year, in early May, the Simulation Australia Board will consider nominations for a Lifetime Achievement Award, or an Achievement Award.

Candidates for the Lifetime Achievement Award will have demonstrated: "An outstanding contribution to the development of modelling and simulation science, technology, policy, standards and / or industry in Australia, made over a sustained period of activity."

Candidates for the Achievement Award will have demonstrated: "A significant contribution to the development of modelling and simulation science, technology, policy, standards and / or industry in Australia."

Awards are presented at the SimTecT, or SimHealth (as appropriate) Conference Dinner.

The inaugural recipient of the SIAA Lifetime Simulation Achievement Award, presented at SimTecT 2005, was Mr Ray Page - see the SIAA News for further details.

Body of Knowledge Award

As well as awarding SimTecT Best Paper and Best Student Paper, Simulation Australia also awards a best Body of Knowledge prize to that paper which best contributes to the development of standards, capture of best practice or contribution to the Australian Simulation community's body of knowledge - see further details.

In 2010, the inaugural winner of the Body of Knowledge Award was Paul Pearce, from Deep Blue Tech, for his paper: A Roadmap For Simulation-Based Acquisition.
