NIST Strategic Focus Area - Homeland Security
- Location: NIST, Gaithersburg, MD
- Participants:
Approximately 160 representatives including emergency responders and response planners, simulation software developers and vendors, standards developers
- Purpose:
- Explore simulation, visualization, and modeling opportunities and requirements for emergency response
- Understand current simulation state-of-the-practice and its applications for emergency response
- Explore what is needed to develop, demonstrate, and deploy a framework> to enable simulations to share information for emergency response
- Identify next steps that result in proposals, redirection of programs, initiating standards' activities, and chartering of work efforts.
