Company Presentation

•The VirtualSim company is the creator of vsTASKER – a mission and logic editor for real-time simulation and vsRAD – a radar visualizer toolkit with SAR module.

• VirtualSim Inc. is a well established start-up with products well appreciated by engineers for their performances.

• Early success includes signing up largest simulation distributorship in China, Israel, Singapore, Canada and Japan.

• vsTASKER offers a unique approach to building real-time simulations and edit complex simulation scenarios

• vsTASKER uses object-oriented methods and graphical editing for the rapid design of :

– scenarios

– logics

– models

– communications

• vsTASKER is powerful, innovative and cost effective

vsTASKER Overview

• Open architecture make it an easy choice for the rapid design of real-time simulations – complex or simple

• Diagrams are used extensively to simplify the design

• C++ code generator mixes user-code with diagram code

• First release V1.0 June 2005 – second release V1.5 launched at I/ITSEC 2005

• Last release V3.2 August 2007

What is vsTASKER?

Real tools for virtual worlds

vsTASKER Overview

vsTASKER is a Scenario Editor Software designed to build real-time simulations with complex behaviors represented graphically, using visual boxes linked together.

The user can pin-point his user-code exactly where it should be run, avoiding the burden of manipulating hundreds of lines of over-head code.

Once done, vsTASKER generates C++ code to be integrated into any 3rd party application.

Main FeaturesReal tools for virtual worlds

vsTASKER allows scenario editing with the following:

- Map editor (Arc-Info, DTED, Coastlines, Raster…)

- Entity editor (Attributes, Commands, Models, Logics…)

- Models (Component, Objects, User Code)

- Logics (Graphical Doctrines…)

- Knowledge (Expert System based on Rules)

- HLA (1516 – 1.3 from Pitch or KD-RTI)

- Sockets (P2P TCP/IP – UDP communication)

- Viewers (3d Party Integration: OpenGL, VegaPrime, GEarth…)

- Repository (Storage for easy reuse of all of the above)

- C++ Code generation for Simulation Engine.

vsTASKER Overview

A Drawing Area where the user graphically

designs behaviors using the logical Objects

provided in the toolbar.

An Environment tree-list that holds all Logic,

Knowledge, Entities and Scenarios belonging to a

database.

A Repository to store and retrieve general purpose logic and behavior parts, to accelerate the design

phase.

User-GUIReal tools for virtual worlds

vsTASKER Overview

User can also create his own simulation panel using his own design and language while integrating vsTASKER map displays

and capabilities.

API and public libraries allows runtime simulation panel to be easily built and

customized.

vsTASKER GUI is then used only for defining the Scenario inner components and generating the simulation engine.
