ISI's (Information Sciences Institute) SDI Architecture Simulator: Initial Prototype User Interface

Abstract

This report describes the software design of the initial prototype user interface for the strategic defense architecture simulation system at ISI. The user interface was designed to satisfy several requirements. First, it should provide a means for the contractors to easily specify new simulation parameters, including candidate defense system architectures and threat scenarios. Second, it should not be necessary for users to be familiar with the internal workings of the simulator in order to execute the simulator and examine the simulation results. The report documents the design and implementation and its software components, and example interactive session to demonstrate use of the system, and some suggestions for future improvements to the software.
