Who is SISO? S Mission S Vision S Operating Principles 5

Who is SISO? S Mission • To foster development and maintenance of Modeling & Simulation standards S Vision • To promote and support their use in the M&S community S Operating • • To improve technical quality of M&S Principles To improve effectiveness, timeliness, and cost efficiency of M&S implementations world-wide 6

Who is SISO? S Mission S Vision S Operating Principles SISO-ADM-004 -2009: SISO Vision Document • • To serve the global community of M&S professionals To provide an open forum for the exchange of ideas To advance M&S-related technologies and practices To develop standards and other products that enable greater M&S capability, interoperability, credibility, reuse, and cost-effectiveness 7

Standards developed and published by SISO-STD-001 Real-time Platform Reference Federation Object Model (RPR-FOM) SISO-STD-002 Link 16 Simulation SISO-STD-003 Base Object Model (BOM) Template SISO-STD-004 Dynamic Link Compatible HLA Application Programming Interface SISO-STD-006 Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Simulation Package Interoperability (CSPI) SISO-STD-007 Military Scenario Definition Language (MSDL) SISO-STD-008 Core Manufacturing Simulation Data (CMSD) – UML Model SISO-STD-011 Coalition Battle Management Language (C-BML) SISO-STD-012 SISO-STD-013 Federation Execution Agreement Template Common Image Generator Interface (CIGI), Version 4. 0 SISO-REF-039 Generic Methodology for Verification and Validation (GM-VV) to support Acceptance of Models, Simulations 13 Enumerations for Simulation Interoperability SISO-REF-010

Standards developed and/or maintained by SISO S Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process (DSEEP) 3 IEEE 1730 Series S High Level Architecture (HLA) IEEE 1516 Series S Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) IEEE 1278 Series S Synthetic Environment Data Representation & Interchange Specification (SEDRIS ) 14 1

SISO’s Role as an ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 24 Liaison The SISO maintains liaison with the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24. S Supports the development, extension, refinement, and maintenance of standards for the environmental data community, which include the ISO/IEC SEDRIS family of standards S Provides support for the development and implementation of tools to support the use of SISO products and participates in other SC 24 activities (e. g. , WG 9 activities in Mixed and Augmented Reality) where mutual interests reside. 15

Environmental Data Representation Standards (EDRS) Product Support Group (PSG) The EDRS PSG participates in activities that support the development, extension, refinement, and maintenance of standards that affect the SISO environmental data community. Activities include liaison with the International Standards Organization (ISO) / International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) Sub Committee 24 Working Group 8, the SEDRIS Organization, ongoing Product Development Groups (PDGs) and the broader environmental data representation community. This includes providing: S Information and support for the ISO/IEC SEDRIS family of standards, including the Environmental Data Coding Specification, the Data Representation Model, the Spatial Reference Model, and the SEDRIS Transmittal Format; S Post-standardization support and maintenance for SISO Environmental Data Representation products; S Information on requirements for development and implementation of tools to support the use of SISO products; and S A forum for community education on the application and use of standards for environmental data, it periodically publishes ER in the News to foster broad community situational awareness.

SEDRIS Technology Components Data Representation Model (DRM) Gives the constructs to express and “shape” environmental data DRM, EDCS, and SRM are used together to describe the environment Environmental Data Coding Specification (EDCS) Names and identifies types of objects in an environmental description Spatial Reference Model (SRM) Makes the environmental description readable in other coordinates Application Program Interface (API) Provides software access to individual elements of environmental data API and STF are used to exchange the description of the environment SEDRIS Transmittal Format (STF) Transfers complete “chunks” of environmental data
