Prerequisite
Basic knowledge of Microsoft Windows.
Description
Equipment simulations enable workers to learn and practice operational
skills for medical equipment, consumer electronics, manufacturing
instrumentation, and other hardware devices in a safe, consistent,
and inexpensive way.
Through illustrated examples and worksheets that you can use for
your own project development, this seminar gives you an inside view
of a tried-and-true process to help guide your equipment simulation
projects to success, whether you manage them with in-house resources,
contract out their development, or handle them anywhere in-between.
The process helps you define the “right” level of detail
for your projects and ensures that projects remain focused on producing
measurable, high-impact results.

Topics Include
- Map out the big picture project roadmap—from
start to finish, and beyond
- Discuss typical costs associated with outsourcing, including
offshore (US) development
- List warning signs of simulation projects overly focused on
technology and not performance results, and propose corrective
actions
- Explain the principles of designing “lean” instructions
focused on performance results
- Describe how to assemble the core storyboard materials for
project development
- Articulate the basic concept of state machines and how they
can be used to described processes and process flow

His academic and technical articles have appeared in several major
journals and magazines, and recently he has published popular tutorials
and articles that have appeared on Macromedia's Flash DevNet Center.
He is an invited speaker at Flash, simulation, e-Learning, and
medical conferences, including Macromedia DevCon, AAMI, SIGGRAPH,
Online Learning, and Flash Forward, among others. Jonathan also
leads customized workshops to teach how to develop simulations for
training and rapid prototyping.
Jonathan graduated from Cornell University with a B.A. in Computer
Science, and from the University of Pennsylvania with a Ph.D. in
Computer Science.
