Simulating the domain of medical modeling and simulation: the medical modeling and simulation database.
Over the past year the National Center for Collaboration in Medical Modeling and Simulation's (NCCMMS) Medical Modeling and Simulation Database (MMSD) has grown dramatically. There are now over 170,000 entries including current articles and upcoming conference listings. In addition, in the near future, the scope of the NCCMMS website will expand to include an evaluation section where NCCMMS researchers will compile data describing the efficacy and cost efficiency of many commercially available simulators. The NCCMMS also plans to create a new collaborative forum on the website. This message board area will provide a single location for researchers to discuss new simulation techniques and programs. It will help to facilitate communication between companies and researchers in the field by creating a comprehensive forum for medical modeling and simulation discussions. The newly expanded MMSD and NCCMMS websites are designed to create a simple way for researchers and companies to work together to facilitate the sharing of information and to spur advancement of the medical modeling and simulation discipline.

Tracking the domain: the medical modeling and simulation database.
To foster awareness of the magnitude and breadth of activity and to foster collaboration among the participants, the National Center for Collaboration in Medical Modeling and Simulation (NCCMMS) has created the Medical Modeling and Simulation Database (MMSD). The MMSD consists of two web-based, searchable compilations: one, the Research Database, that contains bibliographic information on published articles and abstracts (where available) and a second, the Companies and Projects Database, that maintains contact information for research centers, development and application programs, journals and conferences. NCCMMS is developing the MMSD to increase awareness of the breadth of the medical modeling domain and to provide a means of fostering collaboration and bringing like-minded organizations and researchers into more frequent contact with each other, thus speeding advancement of medical modeling and simulation.

Analyzing the MMVR research space: past emphases, future directions.
The MMVR Conference is one of a handful of national forums where leading researchers regularly convene to discuss medical modeling and simulation. As such, the presentations made during the conference represent a reasonable overview of both the state-of-the-art in virtual reality in medicine and the basic and applied research trends in the field. This article describes those trends and some of the implications based on a meta-analysis of almost three hundred articles published as a result of the MMVR Conferences in 2000, 2001, and 2002.
