Containerization of high level architecture-based simulations: A case study

NATO and the nations use distributed simulation environments for various purposes, such as training, mission rehearsal, and decision support in acquisition processes. Consequently, modeling and simulation (M&S) has become a critical technology for the coalition and its nations. Achieving interoperability between participating simulation systems...

Data farming in support of HLA performance assessment

Performance assessment is a key factor in designing distributed simulation environments that are fit-forpurpose and cost-effective. Simulations used for training applications should provide the required level of responsiveness and interactivity. Simulations used for analysis or decision support should execute as fast as possible to enable quick...

Service orientation for the design of HLA federations

Service oriented modeling and simulation (M&S) is being pursued by many nations and organizations. Approaches being taken span from the provision of M&S tools and applications via -as-a-Service cloud computing technologies to the actual construction of M&S via service oriented techniques. Often these approaches propose that new technologies are...

Scalable and Embeddable Data Logging for Live, Virtual and Constructive Simulation: HLA, Link I6, DIS and more

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 environment where we need to train jointly and combined and...

On the definition and relevance of context-awareness in Personal Networks

Personal Networks (PNs) enable users to be connected with their devices and services at any time and any place. Context-Awareness will further enrich PNs. This paper shows some examples, presents definitions of Context and Context-Awareness for PNs, and introduces a high-level architecture for Context-Awareness that is tailored to PNs.

Simulation of advanced concepts for damage control

Damage control on board navy ships requires a lot of manpower. On a frigate-sized ship of the Royal Netherlands Navy, up to ninety people can be involved in tasks like fire fighting, battle damage repair and treatment of casualties. In present times this is no longer attainable or affordable. To reduce our manning needs, several tasks will have...
