Distributed Simulation Process and Tools Forum

1
Distributed Simulation Process and Tools Forum

• This forum focuses on evolving a generalized
  system engineering process for developing and
  executing distributed simulations, and on tools
  used for automating aspects of distributed
  simulations
• Lessons learned from creating real-world MS
  applications
• Addressing problems of integration, scalability,
  reuse, and robustness
• Automation of various aspects of distributed
  simulations
• In areas such as scenario development,
  initialization, monitoring, runtime control,
  collection and repositories, visualization, and
  after-action review
