Navy awards $260,000 project to 1ST UCF's Institute for Simulation and Training has been awarded a Navy con­ tract worth $260,000 to conduct re­ search leading to the implementation of the Automated Simulator Test and As­ sessment Routine (ASTAR). ASTAR incorporates a series of com­ puter programs that guide a user through information and judgmental ac­ tivities. The goal of the program is to provide a method for forecasting the po­ tential effectiveness of a training sys­ tem early in the design process. 1ST project manager Richard Phillips and principal investigator Michael Compan­ ion say ASTAR will "significantly reduce the development cost and risk of future training systems, and through its predic­ tive capabilities, ensure more effective training systems." The institute's project will be the final step in the development of ASTAR. 1ST will compare the sytem to similar, earlier efforts, and conduct research to deter­ mine the impact on new and existing training systems. Based on this re­ search, an implementation plan will be designed to integrate ASTAR in the De­ partment of Defense's instructional de­ sign process. ASTAR is the first Navy research con­ tract of this type awarded to 1ST.

BusAd College makes move to CEBA II The College of Business Administra­ tion's move from Howard Phillips Hall to its $8 million new quarters, CEBA II, an­ ticipated for weeks, conveniently took place at the end of the Spring Semester. The start of three-days of planned moving across campus came so close on top of the end of final exams that there was a mandatory day of rest for movers and the 175 administrators, fa­ culty, staff and student assistants on commencement day. The move began on Monday last week, took Tuesday off, and resumed Wednesday andThursday. The dean's administrative assistant, Chris Kaisler, said that 2,700 boxes were loaded for the move on three vans furnished by a commercial company, Joiner Van and Storage. They also moved file cabinets, computer tables and desks tagged for the move. The oc­ casion of moving into a new building was also the occasion to refurnish exten­ sively. Nearly 100 personal computers were moved from Phillips Hall to CEBA II by eight staff members of Computer Servic­ es, all dressed alike in T-shirts obtained for the recent computer fair. Computers and hard drive programs were all copied for backups so that no programs would be lost. The Computer Service's staff also reconnected computers to the net­ works. The new home for the college will also get a 100-PC student lab with computers connected to the Local Area Network, Alice Hansen, assistant director of the department, said. The move was coordinated for the col­ lege by Bunkie Horton, former director of Purchasing..
