Speaker(s):
Daniel Maxwell, Chair, Modeling and Simulation Working Group, United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation; Jean-Louis Gougeat, Chairman, Reuse and Interoperation of Environmental Data and Processes (RIEDP) Product Development Group, Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization; Samuel Chambers, M&S Data Services Lead, Environment Architecture Division, Joint Staff J7; Bill Hopkinson, M&S Analyst, Defense Modeling and Simulation Coordination Office; Thomas Creel
This event provides an opportunity for the major geospatial data producers, users and standardization organizations to update the community on their products, standards, and processes, and to share their plans and challenges with interested parties.
The transition to open consensus-based standards for geospatial data creates opportunities for modeling and simulation systems to:
• Reduce technology risk by:
» Improving interoperability through convergence on data standards
» Broadening choice of solutions to a growing list of commercial products
• Increase efficiency and effectiveness through:
» Rapid integration of information, technology and authoritative data
» Taking advantage of advancements in data storage, computing, and visualization capabilities
This group is fostering data sharing and reuse across the M&S Enterprise and converging on common standards. The result is reduced data production and preparation times to empower the agile force.
