Lift-and-Shift Afterlife: Going All In on Cloud Native

Integrating global simulation and training systems is more complex than ever. Legacy simulators rely on varied and often incompatible standards for data, voice and video, while modern systems demand cloud-based, distributed architectures and robust security. When you factor in the rising burden of information assurance, simulation system integrators face an uphill battle.

The key to success lies in building modular, composable synthetic environments that can be rapidly assembled and reconfigured using interoperable components. But how can integrators meet evolving mission needs without getting bogged down in lengthy, fragile integration efforts?

In this webinar, we’ll explore how Data Distribution Service (DDS) can streamline the integration of simulation systems while meeting the performance, security, and scalability demands of next-generation training environments.

DDS is already at the heart of many real-world defense systems, powering secure, low-latency data sharing across Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) simulations. It bridges legacy systems and next-gen architectures, connecting humans and hardware-in-the-loop with virtual and augmented environments—across labs, ranges, and cloud infrastructures.

Attendees will learn how DDS enables seamless interoperability with simulation standards like HLA, TENA, and DIS, integrates with diverse object models and data formats, and supports fine-tuned quality-of-service (QoS) settings to optimize performance. The webinar will also discuss how DDS delivers secure, scalable communication—ensuring trusted information flow across domains and classification boundaries.

Join us to learn how DDS can serve as the foundation for distributed simulation systems that are faster to integrate, easier to scale, and ready for the future of training, testing, and development.

Leveraging DDS for Real-Time Simulation Environments

While BPMN is often associated with automation and execution, its true potential lies far beyond IT implementation.

The Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard is a powerful connectivity middleware for mission critical systems. In addition to large distributed systems, it is also used to manage communication in resource-constrained environments with battery-based, intermittent connections.

This webinar will discuss the DDS standard used with tiny devices. The DDS XRCE Protocol specification manages communication in eXtremely Resource Constrained Environments (XRCEs) between a micro device (client) and an Agent (the server). It enables the device to communicate with a DDS network – regardless of vendor implementation - and publish and subscribe to topics in a DDS domain via an intermediate service.

 

The DDS specification targets real-time systems, and it is designed to produce lightweight middleware implementations. As a result, DDS implementations targeting embedded systems are very common. Participants will learn when to use an embedded DDS implementation and when to opt for the DDS-XRCE standard.

SBOM 201: Consuming and Enriching Complex SBOMs

Object Management Group (OMG) modeling language standards include the Unified Modeling Language (UML), the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF), and many more. Underlying all these specifications is the foundational Meta Object Facility (MOF) standard, first adopted by OMG in 1997 along with UML 1. Since that first version, MOF has evolved with UML up to the current versions of MOF 2.5.1 and UML 2.5.1.

The long-awaited second version of SysML, adopted by OMG in 2023, is also built on MOF. However, unlike previous versions of SysML, SysML 2.0 is not based on UML. Instead, it is based on a new Kernel Modeling Language (KerML), which adds important foundational capabilities for specifying the formal semantics of modeling languages.

And now there is discussion of also defining a new UML 3.0 that is also based on KerML. But MOF is itself based on UML, so would UML 3.0 also necessitate MOF 3.0? How can OMG maintain the stability of its current, well-tested modeling-language foundation, while continuing to promote technical innovation for the next generation of modeling languages?
