GERONTOGENES AS THERAPEUTIC TARGETS

Not Available The Phase I effort will develop an innovative Satellite Operations Training System (SOTS) prototype that leverages advanced interactive multimedia instruction (IMI), intelligent tutoring system (ITS), and modeling and simulation (including advanced visualization and gaming) technologies to address satellite operator training requirements of AFSPC and USSPACECOM. The domain focus for Phase I is satellite operations tasks such as anomaly resolution, orbital maneuver, and spacecraft maneuver. Phase I will develop a generalized architecture for integrating modeling and simulation components and embedded intelligent agents with emerging COTS distributed learning, intelligent multimedia authoring, and instructional delivery components. The prototype system will demonstrate key features defined per mutual agreement. The project will (for a limited set of training objectives): 1) demonstrate an instructional design process that flows from mission essential task lists (METLs) and satellite operations core skills' requirements to specific training objectives at the satellite control level; 2) demonstrate intelligent tutoring technology that can deliver adaptive IMI based on student mastery of training objectives, instructional history, and other media attributes; and 3) demonstrate how modeling and simulation technologies can enhance understanding of non-intuitive satellite control tasks.
