•IMS and IEEE have broad-based standard activities
•ADL is more focused on promoting standards compliant course development and has DoD projects producing courses and has established centers and is sponsoring meetings as “plugfests” where people demonstrate their “standards” compliant capabilities and its
interoperability
–Main Co-Lab is part of IDA in Alexandria Va
–Wisconsin is Academic Co-Lab with a further DoD Co-Lab
in Orlando (Navair?)
•Level of collaboration between 3 groups not entirely
clear
–In 1997 I was very disappointed when ADL signed up with
IMS and basically abandoned their
stated goal of working with broad community
–Current ADL/IMS link seems weaker than at start
