Computer Assisted Surgical Training: Enhancing Patients’ Safety through
Simulation Technology and Human Skill
Prof. Jerzy W. Rozenblit (Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Dept. of Surgery, College of Medicine, The University of Arizona)
Minimally invasive surgeries reduce recovery time and postoperative pain. However, in these
procedures surgeons may lose many of the tactile and visual cues that they rely upon in
conventional surgery. Our work focuses on the use of high technology to assist in laparoscopy
training. This talk will provide an overview of the concepts, will discuss some of the existing
systems, their advantages and shortcomings. Then, a design of a surgical training and assessment
system that provides sensing and reasoning capabilities in laparoscopy education will be
presented. A training device prototype has been developed and will be demonstrated. I will also
discuss our vision for the future use of this technology as a surgical assistant system in the
operating room.
The CAPRICORN Project
Agostino Bruzzone (Simulation Team, DIME University of Genoa)
Capricorn aims is support operations planning and management in complex scenarios where population and interest groups are critical elements; in particular the project is focused on a complex South Asia scenario. The context allows to simulate investments and operations over a an asymmetric mission environment with different parties and articulated social frameworks. The proposed scenario is characterized by various degrees of freedom and it is modelled and simulated in order to evaluate the evolution of human behaviour and socio-psychological aspects. It involves Intelligent Agents (IAs) - driven Computer Generated Forces (CGF) that represent also people and interest groups (i.e. Middle Class, Nomads, Clans). The project is focused on Civil Military Co-operations(CIMIC) and Psychological Operations (PSYOPs) while the simulation has been developed using an architecture that involves various federates in different roles (IAs-driven HLA)
