OW-RTI = DMSO RTI 1.3 in Java CORBA |
Includes the following software modules:
|
6 generic projects, each for years 3-5 |
different CHSSI modules and/or customers addressed each year |
WebHLA - a 3-tier environment to offer an integrated training, demo, testbed and FMS software delivery platform |
Core PET FMS Support |
Parallel Modeling and Simulation Modules |
Metacomputing FMS Demonstrations |
CHSSI Training Modules |
Training Federates |
WebHLA Integration |
Input |
Projects |
Output |
Continuous tracking of Web/Commodity and DoD M&S Standards |
Current Projections:
|
Parallelize advanced M&S codes such as CMS on the Origin2000 platform |
Deliver to various user communities:
|
Package simulation modules as HLA federates |
Use WebHLA to prototype Metacomputing FMS environments (multi-user, multi-MSRC) |
Focus on CMS+ModSAF modules
|
Analyze FMS CHSSI software modules |
Collect docs, man pages, develop entry level tutorials and Web linked databases |
Transfer to the Training Federates project
|
Wrap CHSSI modules are HLA Federates |
Develop Training FOM to include students, teachers and sim modules as participants |
Deliver WebHLA based multi-player realtime interactive training
|
Develop WebHLA as integrated platform for prototyping, testbed, demo and training (PSE) |
Integrate CHSSI FMS modules and other advanced M&S codes (CMS) as WebHLA federates |
Explore WebHLA as SBA infrastructure
|
Late start for PET FMS (licenses, accounts etc.) in `97 |
Good progress so far in `98 |
JWORB and Object Web RTI operational |
12 conf papers, book chapter and book in progress |
SIW Fall 98 paper on WebHLA accepted |
