As the summer season draws near, we are all excited about the prospects of sun-soaked beaches, thrilling adventures, and heartwarming family reunions. But summer also brings the perfect opportunity to delve into intriguing technical topics that we may have missed during the hustle and bustle of the year. For this reason, I have curated five outstanding papers on interoperability, all of which I had the privilege of contributing to and are available for complimentary download.

Simulation is not just a cornerstone technology for defense; it’s paving the way for space exploration. After stimulating discussions with NASA, prominent universities, and industry leaders, we took an active role in the development of a pioneering standard: the SpaceFOM. Dive into the realm of space simulation and get to grips with SpaceFOM in this enlightening piece, “A First Look at the Upcoming SISO Space Reference FOM”.

Early simulations thrived in controlled labs, but let’s face it, the real world is not a perfect place. Operators err, computers fail, and yet, the show must go on. This realization led us to embed fault tolerance in HLA. Keen to discover some ingenious design patterns for fault tolerance? Then, this read is for you: “Developing Fault Tolerant Federations using HLA Evolved”.
