The I/ITSEC committee accepted over 135 final papers in the 2013 competition after several lengthy and thorough pre-evaluation sessions of the nominated abstracts and draft papers.  The STTC had 21 papers accepted for presentation at I/ITSEC and several of them selected for continuing education credits.  The conference has a stringent selection process consisting of six topic area subcommittees to review abstracts, papers and presentations.  Assigned bird dogs guide and assist authors through peer reviews and advocate for the author to the subcommittee during the paper review process.

I/ITSEC is the world’s largest modeling, simulation, and education conference with annual participation of over 16,000 registrants, 561 exhibiting organizations, and 1,900 international registrants from 75 countries.
