OVERVIEW Overview of recent Findings of the Study Groups of the Simulation Interoperability Workshop dealing with

Abstract:  intensively with the topic of M&S and C3IInteroperability over the recent Simulation Interoperability Workshops (SIW) which are taking place in the Spring and in the Fall every year in the United States. Since 2001, a European SIW also occurs every summer in Europe in various places. The SISO C4I Forum addresses primarily the modelling and simulation of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems in constructive, virtual, and live environments, the coupling of real C3Isystems and simulation systems for computer assisted exercises (CAX), and support for operations. Additional focus: Development of a Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Technical Reference Model (TRM), a common framework for C4ISR system-to-simulation interoperability, and relationships among international C4ISR architectures. It sponsored two study groups, namely the Study
