Quantified Design Solutions president David Jones to chair MODSIM 2020

MODSIM World 2019 – Interview with Conference Chair David Jones 

Reprinted from the I/ITSEC 2019 Show Daily

"MODSIM 2020's theme is 'Predicting and Solving the Problems of Tomorrow, Today'," Conference Chair David Jones, Founder/President, Quantified Design Solutions, LLC, told the Show Daily. "Over the past decade, the industry has continued to advance modeling and simulation tools to move beyond solving current problems. We can now use advanced modeling and simulation tools and techniques to predict what future problems will be and solve those as well. The technical program speaks to the direct application of modeling and simulation to solve real-world problems within four key tracks: analytics and decision making, cross-reality, science and engineering, and training and education. This year we are augmenting those tracks with special cross-track problem spaces that represent critical modeling and simulation needs to be defined by decision-makers and industry leaders that will be in attendance at the conference."

Jones noted that "MODSIM is an international conference with a Norfolk/Tidewater Virginia regional attendance that you don't see at any other modeling and simulation conference. The agenda and the events that are planned at the conference directly link modeling and simulation developers and researchers with policymakers, end-users, and senior leaders. The networking opportunities provided place the people with real problems in direct contact with the people that can solve those problems.

"The agenda this year is packed with events that MODSIM attendees have enjoyed over the past years, including the Senior Leader panel, Defense and Homeland Security panel and the Sim Century events. We are complimenting these core events with some exciting new events to engage researchers and developers, including the presentation of the best in show from the modeling, simulation, and visualization student capstone conference and multiple developer workshops. The ecosystem that is being created with the conference this year is one that is sure to create real benefit to all attendees."
