D&D KM-IT web and mobile systems generated a lot of interest in the D&D community when presented to the conference participants which included U.S. and international attendees. D&D KM-IT is a web-based knowledge management tool, custom built for the D&D user community. The system has been developed by the Applied Research Center at Florida International University in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management, the Energy Facility Contractors Group (EFCOG) and the ALARA Center at Savannah River Site. The web system can be viewed at www.dndkm.org<\/a> and the mobile version can be seen at http:\/\/m.dndkm.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n ARC Scientists and DOE Fellows at WM2012 booth<\/p><\/div>\n 04.<\/strong>\u00a0ARC hosted an exhibitor booth at the Waste Management Conference 2012. The booth was managed by Walter Quintero, Himanshu Upadhyay, Clint Miller and DOE Fellows to showcase the D&D Knowledge Management Information Tool, the DOE Fellows Program, and DOE-EM applied research being conducted at the Applied Research Center in the areas of waste processing, soil and groundwater remediation, and deactivation and decommissioning. Fact sheets describing ARC research and projects were distributed to participants visiting the booth to increase awareness about FIU and ARC.<\/p>\n Himanshu Upadhyay and Walter Quintero presenting Waste Information Management System<\/p><\/div>\n 05.<\/strong> Himanshu Upadhyay and Walter Quintero presented the Waste Information Management System -2012 during a poster session at the conference. WIMS 2012 has been developed by the Applied Research Center at Florida International University to provide DOE Headquarters and DOE site waste managers with the tools necessary to easily visualize, understand, and manage the vast volumes, categories, and problems of forecasted waste streams. WIMS can be accessed at www.emwims.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n 06.<\/strong> Seventeen DOE Fellows and other STEM students attended the Waste Management 2012 Conference and met with Mr. David Huizenga (DOE Senior Advisor for Environmental Management) to discuss their EM applied research work being performed at FIU\u2019s Applied Research Center as well as their summer internship experiences at DOE sites, national laboratories, and site contractors. The DOE Fellows Program is being supported by EM in order to create a pipeline of minority students and engineers to help span the science and engineering talent gap necessary to complete EM\u2019s mission. This occasion also appeared in an article in the March 1 EM Program Update ).<\/p>\n![\"Himanshu](\"https:\/\/eicdev.fiu.edu\/phparc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Himanshu.Updhaya-presenting.jpg\" "\\"Himanshu")
