A Dynamic Defense Modeling and Simulation Methodology using Semantic Web Services
Kangsun Lee, Byungchul Kim
Defense Modeling and Simulations require interoperable
and autonomous federates in order to fully simulate
complex behavior of war-fighters and to dynamically adapt
themselves to various war-game events, commands and
controls. In this paper, we propose a semantic web service
based methodology to develop war-game simulations. Our
methodology encapsulates war-game logic into a set of web
services with additional semantic information in WSDL
(Web Service Description Language) and OWL (Web
Ontology Language). By utilizing dynamic discovery and
binding power of semantic web services, we are able to
dynamically reconfigure federates according to various
simulation events. An ASuW (Anti-Surface Warfare)
simulator is constructed to demonstrate the methodology
and successfully shows that the level of interoperability and
autonomy can be greatly improved.
