Conference Overview

On behalf of the University of Central Florida, and the Program Committee for the 10th International Conference on Naturalistic Decision Making we are pleased to welcome you to NDM 2011 in beautiful Orlando, Florida. I would like to thank the organizing committees for their exemplary efforts in putting together an exceptional conference program in a warm and entertaining location.

The NDM conferences have long provided an important forum where an eclectic community of scholars can examine how outstanding national and international needs are addressed by recent advances in theory and methods. The 10th International Conference on Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM-2011) continues this tradition and brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse domains who seek to understand and improve how people actually perform cognitively complex functions in demanding situations. The NDM community represents an important interdisciplinary group of researchers united by their study of human performance in situations marked by time pressure, uncertainty, vague goals, high stakes, team and organizational constraints, changing conditions, and varying amounts of experience. As such it continues to be the premier forum for presenting work exploring complex cognition as it occurs in dynamic and real-world contexts. This conference will be an ideal opportunity to exchange important new research results and practitioner experience and present the latest findings on technologies designed to extend and amplify human performance. We hope that you will enjoy the opportunity to explore and learn during your time at the conference.

Sincerely,

Stephen M. Fiore, Ph.D.
Conference Chair
