White Papers
MÄK White Papers address modeling and simulation topics that span technology areas and product lines.
An Approach to Integrating Modeling & Simulation Interoperability
In this paper, we discuss requirements and approaches for integrating DIS, HLA, and TENA into ArcGIS-based systems, to allow simulated entities to be rapidly displayed and manipulated.
Automated HLA Federation Interoperability Testing Tools
This paper describes a phased research program to create a set of automated HLA interoperability testing tools designed to simplify and speed up the process.
Building Hawaii - MÄK's Streaming Terrain Database
MÄK’s Hawaii terrain was built to demonstrate how themany terrain techniques supported by MÄK’s VR-Vantage, VR-Forces, and VRTheWorldServer can be combined to cost-effectively create a correlated, seamless,global 3D environment - with just the right amount of fidelity in each area for the tasks athand.
Challenges and Solutions for Large-Scale HLA Federations
In this paper, we describe some of the challenges involved in developing large-scale HLA exercises, and some solutions for overcoming these challenges.
Command & Control Interoperability with Modeling & Simulation
This short paper provides an architecture for the technology enabling Command & Control Interoperability with Modeling & Simulation. Five points of data interchange are described.
Design of the Dynamic-Link-Compatible C++ RTI API for IEEE 1516
This paper introduces the Dynamic-Link-Compatible C++ API for the IEEE 1516 version of HLA, and describes the rationale for most of the key design decisions that were made by the PDG.
HLA Evolved – The Latest Version of the High Level Architecture
This FAQ answers the big questions about the latest networking standard – what is HLA Evolved and how can it help you.
HLA Federation Performance: What Really Matters?
This paper tries to answer the question of “What really matters” when trying to optimize the performance ofan HLA federation.
Implementation of DDM in the MAK High Performance RTI
This paper describes the distributed region approach and its implementation in the MÄK High Performance RTI using multicast groups.
Implementing a DIS-like Federation within the HLA
This paper discusses some of the issues involved in implementing a DIS-like federation within HLA.
Interfacing a Communications Effect Model to Provide Accurate Modeling of Communications in Computer
This paper examines and analyzes the impact of using a high fidelity communication model versus the limitations of simplified communication models in existing synthetic environments.
QuickStrike ASOC Battlefield Simulation: Preparing the Warfighter to Win
The QuickStrike ASOC (Air Support Operations Center) Battlefield Simulation fills a crucial gap in USAF and United Kingdom Close Air Support (CAS) and airspace manager training. The system now provides six squadrons with the capability to conduct total-mission training events whenever the personnel and time are available.
Rationale and Design of the MÄK Real-Time RTI
In addition to addressing the rationale and design, this paper will discuss some of the implementation, operation, and performance issues and point out areas of future work.
Retrieval of Hidden Data -- the Flip Side of Decluttering
In this paper we develop several techniques providing efficient access to detailed information, and timely triggers to help the user know when, where, and how to access this information.
RTI Interoperability Issues – API Standards, Wire Standards, and RTI Bridges
We will use our perspective as a developer of federates that need to support multiple RTI implementations, as an RTI developer, and as an RTI-bridge developer to describe our experiences and opinions regarding these techniques.
Solving the FOM-Independence Problem
One of the key concerns facing developers of HLA simulation applications, is that they need to be able to reuse federates in different federation executions, each with its own way of representing data in a FOM. This paper presents and contrasts two predominant methods that help to solve this FOM-independence problem.
Supporting Modeling and Simulation Interoperability Standards within ESRI ArcGIS
In this paper, we discuss requirements and approaches for integrating DIS, HLA, and TENA into ArcGIS-based systems, to allow simulated entities to be rapidly displayed and manipulated.
Tools for the Creation of Semantic Information for Modeling and Simulation
This paper will discuss current work MÄK is doing for the US Army Soldier System Center to generate semantic terrain information for the Infantry WarriorSimulation (IWARS), a constructive simulation being developed for analysis of infantry tactics and equipment. Geoprocessing models are being developed in C/JMTK to generate mobility, cover, and concealment features for use inplanning and movement behaviors.
Transitioning Research Concepts to the Command and Control Community Quickly
We present a business model providing an extremely fast method of transferring new research to the command and control community. As any software developer or user knows, there is a vast gulf between research beta prototypes, and commercial quality software. By shortening the time between concept and commercialization, command and control programs increase their technological advantage.
