SEDETEP - Transformation of the Spanish Operation Research Simulation Working Environment

Abstract

The Spanish Navy Operations Research Laboratory is developing a project called SEDETEP (Synthetic Environments DEvelopment Tools Evaluation Project). The objective of this project is to create an Operation Research Simulation Working Environment (ORSWE) to perform simulation projects in an optimized manner, allowing analysts to reuse assets, minimize development costs and use more effectively the human resources assigned and the know-how generated. The ORSWE will provide a process that will help to design, perform, and analyze Operation Research experiments and also, by means of an agreed formal characterization of resources, to avoid semantic ambiguity enabling reusability and resource sharing . Furthermore, the use of standards will foster interoperability. The SEDEP (Synthetic Environment Development and Exploitation Process) methodology, developed by the Western European Union EUCLID RTP 11.13 project (based on the FEDEP standard), has been adapted to create a process suitable for two different user profiles: M&S Software Developer and Operation Research Analysts. To support this process, ORSWE will provide a comprehensive set of tools. To develop this, we have considered the prototype set of tools developed by EUCLID RTP 11.13, as well as the most relevant emerging technologies such as Model Driven Architecture (MDA), ontologies and the Semantic Web. This paper describes the activities undertaken as part of the SEDETEP project and how the ORSWE will enable the transformation of the Spanish Navy Operations Research Laboratory into a more efficient provider of decision support for the Spanish Navy.
