McCluskey, Michael R. – 1972
Training applications of simulation and miniaturization are examined, as are areas where research is needed to develop cost-effectiveness simulation methodologies for training. In order for simulation and miniaturization techniques to reach maximum levels of effectiveness, systems analysis is needed to define physical and psychological dimensions,…

Smode, Alfred F. – 1971
Guidelines are presented for achieving human factors inputs to the design of synthetic training systems. A method is developed for design and organization of training concepts and data supportive to the human factors specialist in deriving the functional specifications for the design of any complex training device. Three major sections are…

Education Turnkey Systems, Inc., Washington, DC. – 1971
This model is a computerized mathematical simulation of the manner in which educational decisions and patterns of school operation affect costs. The design shows how teacher salaries, school building design parameters, and decisions regarding class size and instructional materials expenditures contribute to total school costs. The sophisticated…
