About ISHS
The International Society for Human Simulation (ISHS) was created to facilitate communication among professionals in the field of human simulation. ISHS is the principal technical society devoted to the advancement of human simulation. ISHS organizes one conference per year to exchange ideas and to present the latest in human simulation technologies. ISHS will honor those in the community that have made significant contributions in related areas.
ISHS was created by Professor Karim Abdel-Malek, director of the Virtual Soldier Research program at The University of Iowa, and his team in July 2010. The Society came as a result of a significant void in this field to gather industry, government, and academics under one umbrella to advance the state of the art in this field.
ISHS is managed by a Board of Directors (BoD) that has been established by key individuals (called Founding Members) from the various industries, government, and academia. The Society will continue to be sponsored by the University of Iowa Virtual Soldier Research program until an executive board is elected at ISHS's first meeting.
