Applications Track
SLC - System Life Cycle Forum
The System Life Cycle (SLC) forum focuses on M&S and related enablers of integrated, collaborative enterprises for system/vehicle or weapon system product development, particularly from a life-cycle wide, mission capability/system-of-systems perspective.
CMSS - Crisis Management and Societal Security Forum - See HSCB-CMSS Forum.
SPACE Community Forum
The Space forum was developed to facilitate efforts to move off the planet. The SISO Space Forum will, in particular, elicit practical suggestions for bridging NASA/KSC advanced visualization simulation for operations and the MS&T community.
HSCB-CMSS - Human Social Culture Behavior Modeling -Crisis Management and Societal Security Forum
The HSCB-CMSS Forum focuses on human modeling at individual, organizational, and societal levels in applications as diverse as stability operations, nation-building, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, homeland security, and other related fields.
Command Control Communications Computers Intelligence Surveillance & Reconnaissance Track
C2/M&S - Command & Control/M&S Services Forum
The C2/M&S Services Forum addresses standards to ensure interoperability when coupling simulation and C2 systems; standards to ensure composability when integrating simulation components and C2 components into a common framework; and standards to represent C2 systems and the underlying infrastructure within simulation applications.
IO-ISR - Information Operations Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Forum
The Information Operations Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (IO-ISR) forum seeks papers that deal with all aspects of Information Operations (IO), including computer network attack and defense, modeling of IO in exercise and training, and threats to the Internet and other communications infrastructures.
Distributed Simulation Development Track
DSPT - Distributed Simulation Process and Tools Forum
The Distributed Simulation Process and Tools (DSPT) forum focuses on evolving a generalized system engineering process for developing and executing distributed simulations, and on the tools used for automating various aspects of distributed simulations.
VV&A - Verification Validation & Accreditation Forum
The Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) Forum focuses on methodologies, procedures, and associated techniques used to establish credibility of models, simulations, and distributed simulations (e.g. federations) for specific intended uses. VV&A goals emphasize quality, identifying M&S use risk, formalizing the conceptual model description via the Simulation Conceptual Model Product Development Group, and establishing recommended practices for a VV&A Overlay to the Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process. Special focus areas include identifying gaps in VV&A knowledge, standards, and guidance needs.
CFI - Communication Frameworks and Infrastructure Forum
The Communication, Frameworks, and Infrastructure (CFI) forum focuses on technologies that support interoperation and run-time execution of distributed simulations.
SER - Simulation and Environment Reuse Forum-
The Simulation and Environment Reuse (SER) Forum addresses proposed standards for multi-domain use and reuse of digital representations, models, simulations, and infrastructure.
