ABSTRACT: As joint, combined and Civil-Military exercises are becoming increasingly common, the need for security in collective mission simulation is growing. SISO has developed the Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process (DSEEP) standard that provides a recommended process for development, integration and execution of federated simulations. Security aspects need to

ABSTRACT: A popular approach to simplify the use of HLA is to use an object oriented HLA middleware with an API that is tailored to a specific FOM and federation agreement. This is informally known as Object Oriented HLA, or OO-HLA. Time Management in HLA is a powerful set of

ABSTRACT: A standard, like HLA, needs to be exact, complete and unambiguous. This may not be optimal for a beginner wanting to learn HLA. An up-to-date HLA Tutorial document has now been developed. This paper summarizes some of the philosophy of the tutorial. Several best practices on how to use

ABSTRACT: We never fight alone, so we should train together! With missions being joint and combined, we also need to train that way. Given limited budgets and available resources, distributed simulation is rapidlybecoming a necessity for collective mission training. However, due to the characteristics of mission simulations the protection of

ABSTRACT: HLA Evolved was formally published in 2010 but early federations based on this standard have been developed since 2008. This paper summarizes experiences from four federations during the period 2009 – 2011 with focus on maturity and on the use of new HLA Evolved features. The federations are as

Abstract: Many use cases for distributed simulation depend on the effective analysis of simulation data after the simulation has completed, sometimes even years later. While many proprietary data loggers exist, logs are stored in proprietary formats often tailored for the specific use case for which each tool was designed and

ABSTRACT: One of the most important simulation assets is the data that is collected during executions. Imagine being able to look back, analyze and reuse the data of simulations that have been run during the last decade. However, data logging has a number of challenges, not the least in today’s

ABSTRACT: Distributed simulation is rapidly becoming a necessity for collective mission training. With missions being joint and combined, we will never fight alone. Thus we need to train together, within and betweennations. However, in any such scenario it is likely that some or all of the information may be classified

ABSTRACT: In the DoD M&S Glossary a simulation is defined as a model operating over time so time is a key element in almost all simulations. Simulations can use time for assigning time stamps to individual data elements as well as for specifying the simulated time for the entire simulator/federate,
