Qualifications

Ph.D. (Dr.rer.nat.), University of the Federal Armed Forces, Munich, Applied Operations Research, 1995.
M.S., University of the Federal Armed Forces, Munich, Computer Science, 1988.

Expertise and Research Interests

My main interest as well as my expertise are in the domain of combat modeling and simulation (M&S) and the relation to command and control systems (C2S). To this end, I am interested in ongoing research in various topics, among others:
- Composability and Interoperability
- Embedded simulations
- Interfaces between M&S and C2S
- Web services for M&S
- Applied System of Systems Engineering
- Model-based Data Engineering

Consequently, application of respective commercial standards are interesting me as well, for example:
- Levels of Conceptual Interoperability Model (LCIM)
- Model Driven Architecture (MDA)
- Web Services and Web related Standards, such as the extensible Markup Language (XML)

Other Expertise

Tolk participated as a member of the Industry Policy Subgroup as a technical expert in the creation of the "NATO Modeling and Simulation Master Plan" (1995-1996)

Tolk participated as a subject matter expert in the creation of the "NATO Code of Best Practice for Assessment of Command and Control" (2000-2002)

On behave of NATO's Research and Technology Organization (RTO), Panel on Studies, Analysis, and Simulation (SAS) Tolk contributed to two lecture series (LS 222) on "Simulation of and for Military Decision Making" in NATOs education program (2001, 2002)

Tolk was a member of the inaugural expert team setting up the qualification and tests for the M&S Professional Certification program (http://www.simprofessional.org)

Tolk is Technical Evaluator for the Research and Technology Organization (RTO) Modeling & Simulation Group (MSG) for their annual Conferences within the NATO M&S Education Program (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009)
