Integrated Performance Modeling Environment (IPME)

The Integrated Performance Modeling Environment (IPME) is a Unix-based integrated environment of simulation and modeling tools for answering questions about systems that rely on human performance to succeed.

IPME provides:

• A realistic representation of humans in complex environments
  
• Interoperability with other models and external simulations
  
• Enhanced usability through a user friendly graphical user interface

IPME provides a full-featured discrete event simulation environment built on the Micro Saint modeling software. Additionally, it provides added functionality to enhance the modeling of the human component of the system. Finally, it has a number of features that make it easier to integrate IPME models with other simulations on a real-time basis including TCP/IP sockets and, in the near future, tools for developing simulations that adhere to the Higher Level Architecture (HLA) simulation protocols that are becoming standard throughout the world.

These capabilities will help practicing professionals solve their problems by providing answers to questions involving human performance.
