The JADS Analysis Toolbox. A Tool for Analysis of Distributed Simulations

Abstract

Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) has developed a software product for the Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation (JADS) called the JADS Analysis Toolbox that has been very helpful in the troubleshooting, analysis, and visualization of distributed interactive simulation (DIS) data. The toolbox comprises a set of C++ routines integrated into a single user interface. It allows users to view tabulations and plots of protocol data unit (PDU) data in near real time, to play and/or get selected data post-test in text-readable format from JADS log files, and to obtain various plots and tabulations of PDU statistics for post-test analyses. This paper discusses modifications to the toolbox from its use in tests of short duration with only three entities to its use in tests lasting all day with 10,000 entities. The paper also discusses SAIC work in progress concerning the development of a similar toolbox for high level architecture (HLA) applications.
