For the 2012 elections the C2/M&S Services Forum will add the technical elements of the IO-ISR Forum which is being dissolved. The 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. The C2/M&S Services Forum is looking for papers dealing with:
- M&S use with, and integration into, Command and Control of robotic forces; their employment, situational awareness, and integration into a Real and Robotic battlespace
- M&S based C2 services/applications for operational, analysis and support purposes
- Modeling of communications effects
- Metadata/Data Interchange Standards
- Use of Battle Management Language (BML) and its variants; the Command and Control Information Exchange Data Model (C2IEDM) and/or C2IEDM Extensions
- Simulation use in support of Systems Engineering, Test and Evaluation, and Assessment of C2 systems and services
- Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Services Development and use in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
- Network Centric services/Web-Based services
