The International Summit on Human Simulation (ISHS) 2012 will be held at the TradeWinds Island 
Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida, May 23-25, 2012. This annual event is intended to provide a 
forum for discussion and collaboration in the use of human simulation technology between 
corporations, academia, and government.  Keynote speaker for this year is: Mr. George Solhan, 
Deputy Chief of Naval Research, Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare & Combating 
Terrorism Science & Technology.

Call for Papers

This is part of the International Society for Human Simulation.
http://www.SocietyHumanSimulation.org/

The field of human simulation has entered every walk of life, from design and manufacturing to 
movie making and sports studies. It is a rich field with depth and breadth and continues to expand 
into new areas as industries find more uses for human simulations to reduce costs, time to market, 
and the need for costly physical prototypes; to study human performance; and to optimize product 
design for optimal human system integration.

As part of this ISHS Society, the annual summit is aimed at sharing results, developments, and 
practices in the field.  Proceedings of ISHS are published.
