| CMS (Comprehensive Minefield Simulator) - advanced DIS system by Ft. Belvoir, recently parallelized on Origin2000 by PET FMS (NPAC) |
| ModSAF (Modular Semi-Automated Forces) by STRICOM - provides advanced support for terrain and vehicle simulation (tanks, coutermines) |
| Mak Stealth - commercial DIS battlefield visualizer from Mak Technologies |
| Direct3D DIS Viewer - commodity/NT front-end for Parallel CMS developed by PET FMS (NPAC) |

| Scenario - heavy breach operation at Ft. Knox, developed for Syracuse by Ft. Belvoir |
| Networking - MBONE connection satisfactory between NPAC and MSRCs, difficulties in Orlando |
| Speedup - so far linear up to 8 nodes, more work and tests needed to scale for larger partitions |
| SC98 demo - early capability only but already generated some interest and visibility (NAVO, ASC) |
| Next steps - Multi-MSRC Metacomputing CMS - see planned FMS CHSSI proposal |

| Parallel CMS - a natural candidate for Metacomputing FMS application, including several MSRCs and acting as a testbed for variety of HPC platofms |
| Should be converted from DIS to HLA (High Level Architecture) - a promising interoperability and federation standard by DMSO, already accepted by IEEE and now proposed by DMSO to OMG as CORBA Simulation Facility |
| Should be given interactive Web interfaces to facilitate multiuser access and collaborative distance training |
| WebHLA prototyped by FMS PET at Syracuse offers a promising infrastructure for Metacomputing CMS and a starting point for a follow-on FMS CHSSI project and system |

| JWORB (Java Web Object Request Broker) - Java based CORBA broker acting as HLA middleware |
| OWRTI (Object Web Run-Time Infrastructure) - Java CORBA based implementation of DMSO RTI 1.3 packaged as JWORB service |
| OMBuilder - Excel+VBA based Visual FOM/SOM Authoring tool with Aegis OMDT look-and-feel |
| DirectX based SimVis Front-End - uses DirectPlay for multiplayer gaming to bridge with RTI middleware |
| Pragmatic Object Web conceptual framework - integrates HLA with Java, CORBA, COM and XML |

| Complete and stabilize current infrastructure components of WebHLA (JWORB, OWRTI, OMBuilder, SimVis) |
| Integrate OWRTI with other RTIs such as HPC RTI under development by FMS-5 (with Syracuse participation) |
| Port HPC modules (such as Parallel CMS) to HPC RTI, port distributed modules (such as ModSAF or SimVis) to OWRTI |
| Use Metacomputing CMS over multi-MSRC facilities as a testbed application for various hardware platforms and FMS software modules (E-ModSAF, HPC RTI etc.) |
