Distributed Interactive Simulation - The DIS Family of Standards

The DIS Family of Standards

DIS is defined under IEEE Standard 1278:

  • IEEE 1278-1993 - Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Application protocols
  • IEEE 1278.1-1995 - Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Application protocols
  • IEEE 1278.1-1995 - Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Application protocols
  • IEEE 1278.1A-1998 - Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Application protocols Errata (May 1998)
  • IEEE-1278.2-1995 - Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Communication Services and Profiles
  • IEEE 1278.3-1996 - Recommended Practice for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Exercise Management and Feedback
  • IEEE 1278.4-1997 - Recommended Practice for Distributed Interactive - Verification Validation & Accreditation
  • IEEE 1278.5-XXXX - Fidelity Description Requirements (never published)

In addition to the IEEE standards, the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO) maintains and publishes an "enumerations and bit encoded fields" document yearly. This document is referenced by the IEEE standards and used by DIS, TENA and HLA federations. Both PDF and XML versions are available.

Famous quotes containing the words dis, family and/or standards:

    I hate to see de evenin’ sun go down,
    Hate to see de evenin’ sun go down,
    ‘Cause ma baby, he done lef’ dis town.
    W.C. Handy (1873–1958)

    Having a thirteen-year-old in the family is like having a general-admission ticket to the movies, radio and TV. You get to understand that the glittering new arts of our civilization are directed to the teen-agers, and by their suffrage they stand or fall.
    Max Lerner (b. 1902)

    Men are rewarded for learning the practice of violence in virtually any sphere of activity by money, admiration, recognition, respect, and the genuflection of others honoring their sacred and proven masculinity. In male culture, police are heroic and so are outlaws; males who enforce standards are heroic and so are those who violate them.
    Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
