The Conference on Standards for the Interoperability of Defense Simulations (1st) Held in Orlando, Florida on 22-23 August 1989
Abstract
This report presents a summary of the activities of the First Conference on Standards for the Interoperability of Defense Simulations sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Program Manager for Training Devices (PM TRADE), and hosted by the Institute for Simulation and Training/University of Central Florida (IST/UCF) on 22 and 23 August 1989, in Orlando, FL. The primary goal of the workshop was to take the first steps required to begin the process of developing standards to be used for the interoperability of Defense Simulations. The two day workshop focused on two major topic areas: Network Communications and Terrain Data Bases. The Network Communications Working Group had two main objectives. The first objective was to determine whether the existing SIMNET Network and Protocols (July 31, 1989) would be suitable as a networking standard, and if not, recommend modifications and/or extensions to the SIMNET Protocol in order to implement networked simulations. The second main objective was to identify those willing to work the issues to achieve an Interoperability standard for simulation systems, and to then proceed with a formal Standardization Procedure (i.e., IEEE or MIL SPEC) for the Protocol. The Terrain Data Bases Working group's main objectives were to establish an understanding of terrain database issues necessary to support development of interoperational network simulation standards and to set up a mechanism for working issues to support these efforts.
