Applying Internet of Things to Simulation

Evolving from stovepipe simulators to connected Smart

Simulations

What is Internet of Things or IoT?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects that contain embedded technology to communicate and sense or interact with their internal states or the external environment.

Simply put this is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet (and/or to each other)

The Internet revolutionized how people communicate, what they do, and how they work together. The next wave of the Internet will connect machines and devices together into functioning, intelligent systems. These interconnected devices —the Industrial Internet of Things — will work together with unprecedented speed, scale and capabilities.

IoT will redefine industries boundaries

Extracted from “How Smart, Connected Products are transforming Competitionby Michael E. Porter and James E, Heppelmann. HBR Nov 2014

Reshaping competition within the industry

The function of one product is optimized with others related products. Basis of competition will be now on the performance of the system of systems.

But we still need to cross a big chasm before to go to a Simulation SoS

But they are still many challenges to solve before to go to a Simulation SoS

Gateways

Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) Federation

(Joint Training and CD&E)

NEW SoS PLATFORM

Network-ConnectedSimulators

Simulation systems are still design to work standalone,

Existing simulation standards were not designed with a System of

Systems (SoS) approach.

Interoperability is limited and only at a system level at best

Simulators withdifferent architectures

and protocols

Federation of Simulations

With existing architectures, even simple federations are complex

How to solve this problem?

Gateway

InstructorStation

Simulation Network Build your assets with an Open

Architecture to avoid gateways Design with Data-Centric architecture Encapsulate the standards into the

platform

How can we solve our challenges?

Improving existing standards-DIS, HLA

Improving gateways architectures

Extending interfaces to the web- web interface in HLA- New WebLVC std
