MMO for MilSim Application
Some older but possible still relevant reading material for me. You might like as well. This is a report on using games for MilSim and has some direct importance on what we do here for both WWIIOL and our "other" projects. I'm not sure why they talk about NWN ( I haevn't read this yet hence this post as a reminder to me...) but I've got a level 40 Dragon Disciple who could probably wipe a Brigade at minimum. Guess I'll call Col. Mustard and see if he's up for a game.

Oh!, thanks for publish this interesting link in your blog.
This paper is dated at 2005 but the author also published some more documents discussing this experimental work, just to be published the next year 2008, like the one tittled: "Eliciting and evaluating teamwork within a multi-player game-based training environment".
Those documents are listed in his main page, under the "Publications" link at the bottom of the page:

Some PowerPoint slides are also available.
It's interesting to read the publications of game tests, oriented to measure if a MMOGame is useful to train "teamwork" skills.
Everything coming from a Ph.D.
Senior in Computer Science.
Funny, isn't it?. :)
I forgot to mention, that the military background of those Scientific tests, lays in this military project:

Notice the interesting 3-layers organization:
Individuals -> Teams -> Teams of Teams
Enjoy the read :)
The 2008 book chapter, being an extension and update of the 2004 and 2005 papers, is far more useful IMO. http://openmap.bbn.com/~thussain/publications/2008_ComputerGames_Elsevier_paper_webpost.pdf
I'm wondering whether CRS has had game subscriptions or trials from the 2008 book chapter's authors (Talib S. Hussain, Shawn A. Weil, Tad Brunyé, Jason Sidman, William Ferguson, Amy L. Alexander), and/or from IPs that appear to be associated with BBN Associates (Bolt Beranek & Newman) in Cambridge or Aptima in Woburn.
Good stuff.
Hmmm...Blogger must not like links this long. Here it is as a text string:

Heh. I'm a failure at Blogger link posting. 8^)
