Abstract

This paper updates the Modeling and Simulation (M&S) community on the status of the M&S Project "Department of Defense (DoD) Modeling and Simulation Standards Vetting Tool" sponsored by the DoD M&S Steering Committee. At the Spring Simulation Interoperability Workshop (SIW), paper 06S-SIW-069 titled, "Joint Automated Modeling and Simulation Standards Vetting and Repository Tool" introduced the project and provided some background information. Leveraging the efforts and lessons learned from the Army, Navy and AF M&S standard vetting programs, a common vetting process and tool was created. The objective of the standards vetting process is to establish and promote common and effective M&S standards for the M&S Community. A common process and tool increases collaboration among stakeholders, encourages broad community input, minimizes duplication of effort from multiple tools and provides shared access to approved M&S Standards. The DoD Standards Vetting Tool (DSVT) is a single, integrated capability for nominating, vetting and distributing M&S standards across the DoD, Joint and all Services. The tool and adoption process for M&S Standards consists of seven stages associated to three key concepts: 1) Nominate, 2) Evaluate, and 3) Promulgate M&S Standards. The evaluation stages include technical, business and community reviews, then an independent ballot and final approval by the appropriate approval authorities. The DSVT supporting functions include 1) a set of M&S Standard's informational web pages; 2) a dynamic online decision support vetting application tool; and 3) a repository system for storing and searching nominated and approved M&S standards. The DSVT supports the processes and information needed for potential submission to the Defense Standardization Program (DSP) and the DoD Information Technology Standards Registry (DISR) programs. This paper will discuss the project's progress, the capabilities, and benefits and proposed way-ahead.
