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
