Call for Abstracts
This is an invitation to all members of the national and international simulation and training community to submit papers for the SimTecT 2005 Conference.Simulation – Fulfilling the Promise
Successes and Visions for the Road Ahead
The 10th SimTecT conference is an exciting opportunity to take a look back at how far simulation and training technology has come, and to
look forward to where the ingenuity of the members of the simulation community will take us in the years to come.
Philip Swadling- Conference Convenor
The Program
SimTecT 2005 is seeking papers from all areas related to simulation, training and modelling - particularly in defence, transport, and manufacturing. The SimTecT 2005 Committee wishes to encourage papers indicating the actual or potential means by which simulation can be used under theme "Simulation – Fulfilling the Promise". Case studies describing experiences and lessons learned are particularly welcome. Student participation is also encouraged.
The SIAA is offering financial assistance for Best Paper winners to attend I/ITSEC 2005 in the US or SimTecT 2006 in Melbourne. To encourage student participation A Student Best Paper award and a special student discount registration fee are available for full time students.A Refereed Papers option is available for authors from academic or research institutions.
You can read about the call for papers on this website or download the call for papers in PDF format.

The papers must be unclassified and must include appropriate copyright, company and/or government clearance. Authors will be required to identify the category of their paper in the conference (from the list of 8 above). Papers previously presented or published as well as marketing papers will not be accepted.
Paper presentations will be of 20 minutes duration, consisting of a 15 minute presentation and a 5 minute question period.
Audio visual aids will be provided for PowerPoint 2000 for Windows2003 (or equivalent). Computers with CDs will be provided. Presenters may use their own laptops by special arrangement. No other presentation medium shall be permitted without prior arrangement.
A draft of the program for SimTecT 2005 will be released on the SIAA website one month prior to the Conference. The Final Program will be released one week prior.
Refereed Papers
SimTecT 2005 will include a Refereed Papers stream. Authors will be able to submit papers for formal review in accordance with research council guidelines.
The Technical Committee generously agreed
to undertake this formal review.
Best Paper Awards
The Technical Committee makes two types of awards, Best Paper and Best Student Papers. The recipient of the Best Paper award will be eligible to attend and present their paper at the 2005 I/ITSEC Conference in Orlando, USA with a substantial contribution of up to A$5,000 towards travel and accommodation from the SIAA.
To encourage student participation, the SIAA Executive has agreed to make available a number of Best Student Paper awards. The authors of the Best Student Paper will attend SimTecT 2006 in Melbourne, or undertake other educational activities, to a value of A$2,000 each, courtesy of the SIAA.
