OMG, OGC, Web3D and SISO Announce a Call for Presentations for First Annual Workshop on Web Enabled Modeling and Simulation.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2003 The Object Management Group(TM) (OMG(TM)), Open GIS Consortium (OGC), Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO SISO Single Input, Single Output SISO Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization SISO Society of Independent Show Organizers (US) SISO Soft-Input, Soft-Output SISO Serial In, Serial Out ) and Web3D Consortium, today announce a call for presentations for the first annual Workshop on Web Enabled Modeling and Simulation (WebSim). The workshop is planned for October 27 - 30, 2003 in Crystal City, VA, USA and will bring together experts in the Web Services, Modeling and Simulation communities. The 4-day workshop will include one day of tutorials followed by three days of interactive sessions and panels. Anyone with an interest in interoperability standards for Web based modeling and simulation is welcome to attend. The Workshop Program Committee is currently seeking proposals for presentations and papers on any of the following topics: -- Web enabled simulation business drivers and requirements -- Current capabilities for setting up, controlling & collecting data on simulations -- Policy issues with Web enabled simulation -- Security and management of the Web enabled simulation environment Abstracts are due by June 27, 2003. Presenters will be notified by July 15, 2003 and papers will be due by September 2, 2003. Interested individuals or organizations are invited to submit a brief abstract of their presentation or position paper via email to abstracts@websim.net. Submitters should also identify whether they are applying for a Workshop session, tutorial, or panel discussion, along with estimated duration time, and a brief biography. Abstracts should be no longer than 1 page in length and should only use HTML HTML in full HyperText Markup Language Markup language derived from SGML that is used to prepare hypertext documents. Relatively easy for nonprogrammers to master, HTML is the language used for documents on the World Wide Web. , PDF, or ASCII text formats. Only 3 abstracts per individual will be accepted. Biographies should be no longer than 50 words.

About SISO The Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO) is dedicated to the promotion of modeling and simulation interoperability and reuse for the benefit of diverse M&S communities, including developers, procurers, and users, world-wide. SISO originated over ten years ago. The initial conferences rapidly evolved into the Distributed Interactive Simulation Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) is an open standard for conducting real-time platform-level wargaming across multiple host computers and is used worldwide especially by military organizations but also by other agencies such as those involved in space exploration and (DIS) Workshops and transformed in 1996 into a more functional organization called SISO participating actively in the standardization efforts related to the High Level Architecture (HLA HLA human leukocyte antigens. HLA abbr. human leukocyte antigen HLA (human leuckocyte antigen) ). Today, SISO is concerned with all sorts of standard development and application facilitating interoperability between simulation systems as well as between simulation systems and real life systems.

About Web3D Consortium The Web3D Consortium is a non-profit organization with a mandate to develop and promote open standards to enable 3D Web and broadcast applications. The Consortium is comprised of many leading corporations and educational institutions including Charter Members: 3Dlabs, US Naval Postgraduate School The Naval Postgraduate School is a graduate school operated by the United States Navy. Located in Monterey, California, it grants primarily master's degrees plus some doctoral degrees to its students, who are mostly active duty officers from U.S. and foreign military services. , Sun Microsystems, Intel Corporation and US Army STRICOM STRICOM Simulation Training and Instrumentation Command STRICOM Simulation, Training & Instrumentation Command (US Army) . There are also over 90 individual Professional Members contributing their expertise to Consortium activities. Web3D Consortium members provide technical and marketing expertise for the continued evolution of open 3D standards while gaining early access to ongoing technology and commercial opportunities.

About the Open GIS Consortium (OGC) OGC is an international industry consortium of more than 250 companies, government agencies and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available interface specifications. OpenGIS(R) Specifications support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT. The specifications empower technology developers to make complex spatial information and services accessible and useful with all kinds of applications. Visit the OGC website at http://www.opengis.org. About The OMG Through its Distributed Simulation Domain Special Interest Group, the OMG is engaged in the development of simulation-related specifications, most notably Distributed Simulation Systems v2.0. With well-established standards covering software from design and development, through deployment and maintenance, and extending to evolution to future platforms, the Object Management Group (OMG) supports a full-lifecycle approach to enterprise integration which maximizes ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). , the key to successful IT.
