Collaborative Technologies For The Government Executive. This course is a 3 day
program that provides an in-depth look at digital collaboration technology in the Federal
government, especially National Security organizations. Students participate in the exploration
and creation of a wide range of applications within the multimedia communications and
information structure of groupware technology. Attendees experience the link to more
powerful and effective group decision making. Students witness the power of global
information sharing for creating a virtual/4A (Anytime Anywhere Anybody Anything)
organization, for optimizing business processes, and for enhancing corporate memory. The
course employs extensive hands-on exercises, and includes guest speakers from organizations
using this technology. This course is intended for managers interested in examining a method
of managing and sharing information across a computer network. Candidates should be in the
paygrade of GS 12-15 or 0-4 to 0-6. Course offerings are as follows:
LEX 9602 30 Jul - 1 Aug 96

Computer Simulation In Process Improvement. This course is a 3 day program that
introduces the use of computer simulation as an important decision making tool in re-
engineering business processes and improving workflow. While geared for managers, the
course provides enough technical details to ensure an appreciation for what is involved in
initiating a simulation effort, what types of problems the staff might encounter, and what can
reasonably be expected as an outcome. In achieving these course objectives, the student
receives hands-on experience in using a modern PC-based computer simulation development
environment, and by the end of the course, is able to create simulations of simple workflow
processes. This course is appropriate for functional and technical managers who need an
understanding of simulating workflow processes. Candidates should be in the paygrade of GS
12-15 or 0-4 to 0-6. Course offerings are as follows:
CSI 9602 11 - 13 Jun 96
CSI 9603 23 - 25 Jul 96

Emerging Information Technologies. This course is a 3 day program that explores advances
in all aspects of information technology from the perspective of both the functional and the
information resources manager. The course includes discussions of the technologies which
are particularly useful in assisting managers to make better decisions including artificial
intelligence, expert systems, and neural networks. It continues with an overview of the trends
in information systems technology and gives particular attention to automatic speech
recognition, natural language understanding,
