Enrollment: Unlimited: Advance sign-up required
Sign-up by 01/14
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
This course is intended to introduce students to modeling and simulation techniques in an intensive one-week session. Advance registration is required and attendance is mandatory for all five days.
Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of modeling and simulation through progressive tutorial-based exercises culminating with development of a distributed simulation application. Course topics include Java programming techniques, object-oriented modeling, time-based simulation techniques, graphical and user interfaces, and distributed simulation using the IEEE Std. 1516-2010 High Level Architecture (HLA). Open source software will be used with an exception for the HLA runtime infrastructure for which a temporary license will be provided for the duration of the course.
By the end of the course, students should be comfortable with a Java development environment, able to create object-oriented models of physical systems, familiar with basic time-simulation and 2-D visualizations, and aware of the core components of the HLA standard. After conclusion of the course, students are encouraged to continue developing simulation models for participation in the SISO Simulation Smackdown, an international federated simulation event held at the Spring Interoperability Workshop from April 8-12, 2012 in San Diego, California. The SISO Simulation Smackdown seeks simulation federates to participate in a simulated lunar exploration near the Aitken Basin.
