We suggest how successful crisis training may be enabled by interoperating next-generation exercise management tools with mixed-reality simulations. We propose an architecture consisting of (1) a front-end in which training objectives, essential skills, corresponding events and metrics can be declared, (2) a back-end consisting of simulations that implement the events and metrics and (3) a middleware which transfers information between the front-end and back-end to enable semi-automatic composition of the simulations and performance analysis. The purpose of this architecture is to facilitate learning through the principles of deliberate practice. We indicate where emerging technologies are necessary to achieve this.}, year = {2019}, journal = {Proc. 16th Int{\textquoteright}l Conf.
