MODELING FOR ENGINEERING AND ENGAGEMENT LEVEL SIMULATIONS Robert M. McGraw Richard A. MacDonald RAM Laboratories, Inc. 6540 Lusk Boulevard, Suite C200 San Diego, CA 92121, U.S.A. Today's industrial and defense communities are increasingly reliant on the use simulation to reduce cost. At times, due to their stove-piped nature, these simulations themselves have resulted in a waste of both time and money with regard to future simulation development. Current trends address this problem by promoting the development of simulation infrastructures that are scalable, portable, and interoperable over a variety of paradigms. These infrastructures, such as HLA and SPEEDES, address cost issues by providing simulation infrastructures that promote model re-use by managing model interactions across diverse paradigms, improving scenario development, and allowing for a scalable distributed simulation capability. While these modern simulation infrastructures address many cost-related issues, they d...
