Advanced Distribution Simulation (ADS) for Analysis,

This is the proceedings of the Advanced Distribution Simulation ADS for Analysis held in Williamsburg, Virginia on 30 January - 1 February 1996. Co-hosted by the Air Force Test and Evaluation Center, BDM International Inc., Sandia National Laboratory. For this particular Workshop, over 100 senior military and civilian analysts gathered in Williamsburg, VA, from 30 January to 1 February 1996 to have a frank discussion on the applicabilityutility of ADS and Distributed Interactive Simulation DIS technologies to the analytical community and to document findings and recommendations resulting from the discussion. Much of the discourse that preceded the Workshop and continued through the initial Workshop sessions focused on the need for a definition for ADS. Ed Brady, FS, the General Chair, believed that any definition would restrict the potential applicability of ADS but finally proffered the following Advanced Distributed Simulation - The evolving DoD distributed modeling and simulation MS infrastructure, including synthetic environments, run- time infrastructures and connected human-in-the loop HITL simulations such as DIS.
