The National Center of Excellence for Aviation Operations Research (NEXTOR) held its Second Annual Research Symposium on December 10, 1998 at the FAA Headquarters Building in Washington, DC. The symposium marked the completion of the second year of research by the Center of Excellence and presented some of the highlights of the past year’s work in the areas of safety and security, collaborative decision making, air traffic management, and NAS simulation and communications. | View the agenda |
