Title

History Of Networked Simulations

Abstract

Networks of simulators are a rapidly advancing technology and provide new utility for real time simulators. Simulator networking will enhance the use of simulation for training, product development, test, analysis, and creation of virtual environments. The current terminology for networks of simulators is called Distributed Interactive Simulation or DIS. DIS consists of descriptions of the protocols, the underlying network, and the architecture for connecting individual simulators. It also supports limited connectivity between real time simulators, live equipment, and discrete event simulations. However, DIS is only the current manifestation of simulator networking. One can look to processes pushing advances in simulator design, computer technology, communications technology, and innovative requirements development as key factors influencing simulator networking. These processes have been on-going for nearly thirty years. It is important to reflect on these development efforts to chart the future course for networked simulators.
