STARS modeling and simulation effort

[dog.ee.lbl.gov!hellgate.utah.edu!cs.utexas.edu!titan!steve@ucbvax.Berkele y.EDU (Steve Glicker)]

I have just heard that a modeling and simulation effort of military
systems is underway for the STARS (Software Technology for Adaptable,
Reliable Systems) Foundation.  I am very interested in information on
this work in terms of the:

    - types of systems being modeled
      (e.g., Army C3I, electronic warfare, sonar, etc.)

    - objective or purpose
      (e.g., real-time emulation for operational testing,
             theater level for war gamming, team training,
             engineering analysis, etc.)

    - types of simulators
      (e.g., Advanced Distributed Simulation Technology, Simscript,
             deterministic, stochastic, continuous, graphical-2D-3D,
             "man in the loop", "hardware in the loop",
             microprocessor-based, etc.)

    - simulation and modeling standards
      (e.g., distributed interactive simulation (DIS),
             terrain databases, etc.)

    - organizations involved

    - level of effort, scope of the work and time durations

    - technical descriptions

Any information would be appreciated.  I will post a summary if there
is interest.
