IEEE 1730.1-2023

This recommended practice defines the issues that are either unique to or exacerbated by the use of multiple simulation architectures in the same simulation environment, along with recommended actions for properly addressing these issues. The Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process (DSEEP) (IEEE Std 17308) provides the overarching process framework. The alignment of DSEEP activities with those additional tasks necessary to address the multi-architecture concerns collectively define a “how to” guide for developing and executing multi-architecture simulation environments, based on industry best practices.

The purpose of this recommended practice is to identify DSEEP activities requiring special attention in multi-architecture simulation environments and to provide additional guidance on multi-architecture-specific inputs, tasks, and outcomes to these issues.

Revision Standard - Active. A recommended practice for applying the Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process (DSEEP) to the development and execution of distributed simulation environments that include more than one distributed simulation architecture is described. The distributed simulation architectures to which the recommended practice applies include Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), High Level Architecture (HLA), and Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA). The DSEEP Multi-Architecture Overlay (DMAO) identifies and describes multi-architecture issues and provides recommended actions for simulation environment developers faced with those issues. The DMAO also augments the DSEEP lists of inputs, recommended tasks, and outcomes with additional inputs, recommended tasks, and outcomes that apply to multi-architecture simulation environments. This document is an overlay to the DSEEP, which is a separate recommended practice.
