Implementers Call for Papers

• IMPL addresses hands-on experience in developing
  federations. Papers should emphasize generally
  applicable implementation-level details (how does
  it work, how is it used, how can it improve).
  Timely lessons learned from using the latest
  HLA-related developments are of particular
  interest. Papers are requested in the following
  areas
• Legacy simulation migration to HLA (full-up
  simulations are preferred to laboratory
  exercises).
• SOM/FOM interoperability.
• Federate/Federation performance, especially
  WRT large, real-world simulations. We want to
  collect metrics including the maximum number of
  entities used in a HLA exercise.
• Federate/Federation development tools.
• Exercise execution issues (e.g.,
  performance issues resulting from the RTI).
• Experiences using the RTI, especially time
  management, data distribution, ownership, and
  management.

Implementers Call for Paper

• Authors should be prepared to lead a focused
  discussion in the areas addressed in their paper
  with the objective of developing community
  consensus regarding resolution of issues by means
  of standards, procedures, policies, etc.
• Implementers received over 30 papers!
• Only had time for 16 papers (Wednesday and
  Thursday forum)
• Thanks to all of the authors

Spring 2002 Focus

• A special focus of the 2002 Spring SIW will be on
  the interoperability of process models. Most
  large commercial and government organizations
  have developed and maintain sophisticated models
  of various aspects of their operations (e.g.,
  manufacturing, transportation, distribution,
  financial, information technology).
  Increasingly, these organizations need to link
  their process models with those of their
  suppliers, customers, shippers, subsidiaries, and
  partners to insure orderly and efficient
  operations. To achieve these goals,
  organizations need to link together heterogeneous
  sets of models built with multiple suites of
  modeling tools and databases -- few of which were
  designed with any thought of interoperability.
