El Yali National Reserve is a protected area that is priority number one for the National Forestry Corporation (CONAF). It is located in the V region of Chile, where the risk of wildfire is quite high. In this context, training actors involved in combating wildfire is a relevant issue. Under the simulation of serious video games, a simulator that allows this training was built, since it is not possible...
Virtual training is a relatively novel field in which human beings learn to perform certain tasks by repeatedly executing them in a virtual reality environment. To make such training environments more effective, the agent paradigm has proven to be a useful tool. By conceptualising a training system as a 'virtual tutor', the system may be able to support the trainee in a similar manner as human instructors...
The most effective screening for prostate cancer combines the prostate specific antigen blood test with the digital rectal examination (DRE). In performing a DRE, two sequential tasks are completed: ( taska) palpating the prostate to identify abnormalities and ( taskb) linking identified abnormalities to a disease diagnosis. At present, clinicians find too few abnormalities and have variable rates...
In this paper, a model based on fuzzy simulation technique and hierarchical structure analysis is developed to evaluate the airlines safety. With the use of linguistic terms, subjective assessments of qualitative safety measures are represented with fuzzy variable. The relative weights of safety attributes are assessed using a pairwise comparison process. Based on the concept of optimality, fuzzy...
This paper analyses learning processes and methodological issues that a group of students will encounter during a set of trials in the computer based simulation training environment, C3Fire. The microworld C3Fire is a well known and respected simulation environment for training and research within the domain of dynamic decision-making. The case analysed in this paper is from a research situation but...
