| Overview |
| |
| This course emphasizes practical applications on real world experiences using the very best simulation techniques. In this class students will learn:
- The roles simulation plays into scientific experimentation, concept exploration, and military training.
- A good infrastructure that supports object, event, and time management improves simulation results.
- The basic architecture and design methods are in the foundation of most successful simulation systems.
The Military Simulation course is divided into lectures based on the key areas of modeling and simulation as described below:
Power of Simulation lecture describes the evolution of simulation in the military and the categories of military simulations. This lecture will also describe how the military uses simulation as well as the advantages and disadvantages.
Systems Architecture lecture identifies the major components, their functionality and interfaces. This lecture also describes synthetic environment, scenario generation and exercise management.
Interoperability lecture defines interoperability and its importance in the field of military simulation. This lecture describes the protocols used in military simulation to insure interoperability and what it means to be HLA compliance. Several architectures will be discussed such as JSIMS and OneSAF.
Event Management lecture describes the role of events and objects in simulations and provides several techniques for managing them.
Time Management lecture extends the idea of managing events of the idea of managing and synchronizing time within a simulation. Simulation time is driven by events; the two ideas are closely related.
Physical Modeling lecture provides an outline for physical modeling along with several examples from virtual and constructive simulations.
Environmental Modeling lecture explores the techniques used to represent the virtual environment and the difference between static and dynamic environments. The standardization of the environmental modeling is also discussed.
Behavioral Modeling lecture describes the modeling of human reasoning, military decision making and the use of agents in a simulation. Military applications are reviewed as well as a survey of techniques for modeling behavior.
Multi-Resolution Modeling lecture describes the use of multiple levels of model resolution to obtain information at different levels of details and as mechanism for tying simulations together.
VV&A describes verification, validation, accreditation and certification of military simulations. It also describes the VV&A process, categories and techniques.
Future of simulation is reviewed including product design, distributed learning, simulation in the entertainment industry and resources that can be used when you return to your job.
