Booknews
Specialists from research and industrial organizations in France, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, and the UK review the current state of European simulator-based training with a view to improving military training for mobile land, sea, and air weapon systems operators and crews. Beginning with training needs analysis, the volume first offers an inventory of existing methods of mission and task analysis. Next, it focuses on training program design, addressing theoretical and practical knowledge concerning the use of simulators for training. A methodology for deriving simulator requirements is then described, followed by a discussion of training evaluation, in which the ways to measure performance and workload are reviewed. Standardized methodologies for supporting training evaluations are also presented. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
