Transcript of FUTURE OF SIMULATION : EVOLVING TOWARDS MSaaS CONCEPT
FUTURE OF LVC SIMULATION EVOLVING TOWARDS THE MSaaS CONCEPT

1
A new Disruption is arriving : usingSimulation as Services
Simulation forIndividual training
Simulationfor TeamTraining
Simulationfor JointTraining
Simulation
for Concept-Design& Experimentation(CD&E)
(M&S as a
Service or
MSaaS)
2
But Simulation Architectures are not disrupting…
Propietary Architecture
Stand-aloneSimulator
(Individual Training)
DIS, HLA, TENA
Federation of stand-aloneSimulators
(TeamTraining)
Gateways
Live-Virtual-Constructive(LVC) Federation
(Joint Training and CD&E)
Network-ConnectedSimulators
(MSaaS)
3
Simulation systems are still design to work standalone,
Existing simulation standards were not designed with a System of
Systems (SoS) approach.
Interoperability is limited and only at a system level at best
The Challenges
Run over any available platform
24x7 availability
Quick scenario set-up
Over any kind of network
Fast availability
Easy search (indexing&tagging)
Seamless integration
No error allowed in client side
In integration
In operation
MSaaS will change the way we build M&S Systems
4
Concept is close to (or inspired
by) “apps” in smart-phones
Sim apps as black-boxes:
users don´t need to know
about:
Security
How the services are
implemented
How to interoperate everything
Certification of Assets : users
got what was promised
The Quest for MSaaS : Looking for the M&S Apps Store
5
A platform to support the
deployment of Simulation services
in the cloud must be created
Simulation Assets must evolve to a
Cloud Architecture
New business models must be
implemented
What we need to use Sim Assets in the Cloud?
6
Here, we will take a look only
in the technical issues
A Big Chasm to cross before to goto MSaaS
Number of features
Level of Net-Centricity
Net-Centric
Simulator
Improving
capabilities
going to the
Cloud
What should be…
Stand-alone
Simulator
Simulator in a
HLA/DIS Fed
Many
restrictions
because of
gateways
But now we have …
7
Technical Challenge to solve : Simulation Architectures
8
Simulators withdifferent architectures
and protocols
Federation of Simulations
With existing
architectures even
simple federations
are complex.
Gateway
How to solve the problem : Goingbeyond actual sim architectures
InstructorStation
Simulation Network Build your assets with an
Open Architecture to avoidgateways
Design with Data-Centricarchitecture
Encapsulate the standardsinto the platform

Using a Layered Simulation Architecture (LSA) for MSaaS
Layered SimulationArchitecture
C2SIM
DISHLA Converging multiple
standards in one commonplatfform.
Leveraging a standard well known in operationalsystems : OMG DDS (Data DistributionServices)
Improving integrabilityand interoperability withcommon services
LSA is trying to provide a solutionto pains found on LVCAR
Gateway solutions are
difficult to develop, upgrade
and maintain
Lack of Convergence of
Simulation Architectures
Lack of common data models,
protocols and data distribution
mechanisms
Performance requisites are
not guaranteed
Lack of plug&play capability
Proprietary Architectures of
the simulators
11
LSA follows an open innovationapproach to solve LVCAR pains

Main reasons to use SISO LSA as a Platform for MSaaS
Provides a SoS architecture
Provides a common platform to cohabitatedifferent standards
Leverage Object Modeling Group (OMG) DDS standard, to have an open wire protocolfor simulation
Layered architecture can provide a commonplatform to the services in the Cloud
14
Others reasons to use SISO LSA as a Platform for MSaaS
OMG DDS is useful in any kind of network and condition. It is availablein almost any type of Operating System, platform and network.
DDS can make easier the integrationof Live assets, because DDS is already in use in many operational systems.
We can have also a solution to the thesecurity challenge, using securityprofile in OMG DDS std.
Where are we now with LSA?
Nominating standard at SISO by LSA Study Group. Final report
and Product Nomination (PN) available at SISO reflector.
Several use cases already available, see references in paper.
PN’s plan is to have a first draft of the standard at the end of 2015
and a full mapping with HLA and DIS at the end of 2016.
