Simulation environment architecture development using the DoDAF

The US Department of Defense (DoD) Architecture Framework (DoDAF) provides a common approach for architecture description development. The primary use of DoDAF is capability development and system acquisition in the military domain. Although DoDAF was not designed to support the development of simulation environments, many of the artifacts...

Security in simulation - A step in the right direction

A number of approaches are currently in use to allow limited sharing of data between simulations running at different native classification levels, but each have their associated issues which prevent full interoperability. This presents users and accreditors alike with a unique set of challenges. Building on the work presented to recent SIWs by...

Three Perspectives on DSEEP and Security: Training Goals, Use Cases and the Selection of Security Measures

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...

DSEEP Process authoring made easy

The Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process (DSEEP) is a recommended practice for the development and execution of a distributed simulation environment, and provides a general process model that is meant to be tailored to meet the needs of individual applications. In 2011 DSEEP was released as a new standard: IEEE 1730-2010....

Security in NATO collective mission training - Problem analysis and solutions

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 rapidly becoming a necessity for collective mission training. However, due to the characteristics of mission simulations the protection of classified...
