Research Areas
Component Based Architectures
The promise of reusable, decoupled code still eludes most modeling and simulation efforts. A consideration of component based architectures, implied invocation, and similar ideas could prove beneficial to defense M&S.
Modular, Pluggable Sensor I/O Architectures
From indoor marksmanship training to long range UAVs, sensors usually require a lot of one-off wiring to connect both physically and logically to the overall control systems. Ideally we would like sensors to plug into a bus, not interfere with each other, and be easily replaceable among vendors.
3D Worlds and Architectures with Longevity
From sparsely connected bulletin board systems to monolithic online services like America On Line, we broke the mold when we embraced the world wide web as the medium where anyone could publish content as they saw fit. 3D worlds also moved from connected first person shooter games to monolithic 3D social worlds. Now the architecture is almost entirely in place for anyone to publish 3D content as rich or as lean as the imagination allows.
I’ll be posting papers, thoughts, and progress to this site.
