42、s not part of IEEE Std 1278.2-2015, IEEE Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS)Communication Services and Profiles.Distributed interactive simulation (DIS) is a government/industry initiative to define an infrastructure for link-ing simulations of various types at multiple locations t
43、o create realistic, complex, virtual worlds for the simu-lation of highly interactive activities. This infrastructure brings together systems built for separate purposes, technologies from different eras, products from various vendors, and platforms from various services and permits them to interope
44、rate. DIS exercises are intended to support a mixture of virtual entities with comput-er-controlled behavior (computer-generated forces), virtual entities with live operators (human-in-the-loop simulators), live entities (operational platforms and test-and-evaluation systems), and constructive entit
45、ies (war games and other automated simulations). DIS draws heavily on experience derived from the simulation networking (SIMNET) program developed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), adopting many of SIMNETs basic concepts and heeding lessons learned.In order for DIS to take advantage o
46、f currently installed and future simulations developed by different orga-nizations, a means had to be found for assuring interoperability between dissimilar simulations. These means were developed in the form of industry consensus standards. The open forum (including government, industry, and academ
47、ia) chosen for developing these standards was a series of semi-annual Workshops on Standards for the Interoperability of Distributed Simulations that began in 1989. The workshops resulted in several IEEE standards and recommended practices.The relationship between the component documents constitutin

Used together, these standards and recommended practices will help produce an interoperable simu-lated environment.The interoperability components addressed by these standards and recommended practices are: Application protocolsFigure 1IEEE DIS d
