−
−	~~<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:10px;">~~
−	~~<tr style="background:rgba(100,100,100,0.1);">~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px; min-width:170px;"><i>Visual database</i></td>~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;">A set of data files representing the physical appearance of a virtual environment. The NADS computers use the OpenFlight format for visual databases.</td>~~
−	~~</tr>~~
−	~~<tr>~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;"><i>Synthetic environment</i></td>~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;">A set of correlated databases that fully defines a virtual environment for use in the NADS.</td>~~
−	~~</tr>~~
−	~~<tr style="background:rgba(100,100,100,0.1);">~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;"><i>Tiles</i></td>~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;">An instance of a synthetic environment that has been designed so that it can be combined with others, thus allowing the development of larger synthetic environments.</td>~~
−	~~</tr>~~
−	~~<tr>~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;"><i>Simulator driver</i></td>~~
−	<td style="padding:8px;">The person driving the NADS. Depending on the context, the term may refer to the actual individual who is driving, or the vehicle representing the driver in the virtual environment. An example of the latter occurs when generating a top-down movie showing what happened during execution. The term <i>simulator driver</i> would be used to refer to the vehicle that shows the subject's actions.</td>
−	~~</tr>~~
−	~~<tr style="background:rgba(100,100,100,0.1);">~~
−	~~<td><i>Event</i></td>~~
−	<td>A pre-specified set of actions that may or may not involve the simulator driver and are an integral part of a scenario. It is often necessary to have repeatable events. An example of an event is having a car that is waiting at a red light run the light once the simulator driver is ready to enter the intersection.</td>
−	~~</tr>~~
−	~~<tr>~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;"><i>Scenario</i></td>~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;">A series of events that take place while a subject is driving the simulator.</td>~~
−	~~</tr>~~
−	~~<tr style="background:rgba(100,100,100,0.1);">~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;"><i>Scenario element</i></td>~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;">An object that usually is displayed in the ISAT main window, and corresponds to an entity that will exist in the virtual environment during execution of the scenario.</td>~~
−	~~</tr>~~
−	~~<tr>~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;"><i>Research participant</i></td>~~
−	<td style="padding:8px;">An individual who drives the NADS during an experiment. Note that a single research participant may drive the NADS several times within the same experiment, and each time they may be exposed to a different scenario. Also called <i>subject</i>.</td>
−	~~</tr>~~
−	~~<tr style="background:rgba(100,100,100,0.1);">~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;"><i>Subject</i></td>~~
−	<td style="padding:8px;">An individual who drives the NADS during an experiment. Note that a single subject may drive the NADS several times within the same experiment, and each time they may be exposed to a different scenario. Also called <i>research participant</i>.</td>

−	~~</tr>~~
−	~~<tr style="background:rgba(100,100,100,0.1);">~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;"><i>SDM</i></td>~~
−	<td style="padding:8px;">The Simulator Development Module, a second simulator in the NADS facility that allows testing and tuning of scenarios or other simulator modifications without occupying the NADS. A key feature of the SDM is that it uses hardware identical to or similar to that used in the NADS to ensure compatibility.</td>
−	~~</tr>~~
−	~~<tr>~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;"><i>Coordinator</i></td>~~
−	<td style="padding:8px;">A coordinator is a scenario component that has no visual representation but can monitor the evolution of the virtual environment and create, delete, or control other entities to orchestrate scenarios.</td>
−	~~</tr>~~
−	~~<tr style="background:rgba(100,100,100,0.1);">~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;"><i>Buttons and dials</i></td>~~
−	<td style="padding:8px;">In the ISAT, most objects have buttons and dials. When pressed or set, buttons and dials can modify the behavior of the object. Scenario events are often created by coordinators pressing the buttons and dials of objects at key points during the scenario.</td>
−	~~</tr>~~
−	~~<tr>~~
−	~~<td style="padding:8px;"><i>GUI</i></td>~~
−	<td style="padding:8px;">A Graphical User Interface is term used to describe a user interface that relies on graphical symbols such buttons, text boxes, and drop down menus, and uses mouse or other pointer device (touch screen, trackball, and joystick). GUI elements refer to individual elements such as buttons.</td>

−	~~===In Case of Problems===~~
−
−	At the time of this writing, most NADS tools have been tested to meet functional specifications and used extensively in research and studies conducted at the NAD. In the event that you experience any problems or would like to provide feedback, please contact Omar Ahmad at mailto:oahmad@nads-sc.uiowa.edu, or David Heitbrink at mailto:dheitbri@nads-sc.uiowa.edu. When reporting a problem, please provide the following information:
