- The paper describes the design and development of a novel cost effective simulator for training of situation awareness, strategy and co-operation. By mixing real and virtual realities in combination with wireless and body-mounted hardware, the result is an augmented environment that allows for high physical mobility against a relatively low cost.

- Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of moderate and severe injury morbidity in a defined population based on ambulance records, and to validate ambulance records as a potential source of surveillance.Methods: A geographical target area was defined; the county of Värmland, Sweden. All ambulance attendances and hospitalisations for unintentional and intentional injury in 2002 were selected, analysed and compared.Results: Ambulance data comprised 3964 injury cases (14.5/1000). Most injuries for which ambulance attention was sought occurred in road traffic areas (27 %), followed by residential areas (20 %), school and institutional areas (14 %) and sports areas (8 %). An ecological comparison between ambulance based data and hospitalisations showed that ambulance services captured approximately the same amount of injury cases (3235 ambulance reports compared to 3456 hospital discharges) with a similar profile.Conclusions: This study provides epidemiological support for ambulance services as a potential source of regular surveillance data on moderate and severe injuries. However, at a population level, our results indicate that ambulance data tend to overestimate some injury categories, and underestimate others, compared to hospital data. The significance of these differences for preventive work, as well as other practical aspects of the feasibility for regular injury surveillance will be analysed and discussed on the basis of general criteria for evaluation of surveillance systems in a forthcoming paper.

- Virtual manufacturing, or manufacturing simulation, can be divided into three domains: product domain, process domain, and resource domain. This paper focuses on the use of virtual manufacturing for press line monitoring and diagnostics. It contains an introduction to virtual manufacturing, divided into a general part on modelling and simulation, verification, validation and acceptance, and the division into the three domains, as well as a specific part on the use of simulation in these domains for sheet metal products, processes and processing equipment. The main software tools discussed in this paper are discrete event simulation and computer-aided robotics; the designed and implemented machine service support system is an example of advanced use of three-dimensional (3-D) graphical simulation in the resource domain. This system offers remote on-line monitoring and diagnostics functions as well as media player-type functions such as replay that allow a service and maintenance expert to analyse disturbances that occur at remote locations. A key feature of the system is 3-D graphical simulation with I/O synchronisation. This type of system is particularly useful for system integrators and machine builders that install press lines and press cells world-wide and need to guarantee a high level of availability of the installed machinery.
