Recent modeling and simulation technology is being used in various fields. Especially in the field of military, Simulation-Based Acquisition (SBA) is recognized as a essential policy. To effectively carry out SBA, modeling and simulation techniques should be applied in the whole life-cycle for the weapon system development, and simulation architecture framework which provides easily reusable and interoperability is needed. Through reusability and interoperability, the costs of constructing the integrated collaborate environment for simulation based acquisition can be minimized. In this study, we define requirements, issues for enhancing reusability and interoperability, and propose simulation framework as a solution of the problem including structural design. Proposing simulation framework provides common functions for producing simulator as reusable units and easily changeable structure on user's purpose. In addition, we provide the result for applying simulation framework to our project.

LVC(Live-Virtual-Constructive) training system is drawing attention due to changes in battlefield situation and the development of advanced information and communication technologies. The ROKAF(Republic of Korea Air Force) plans to construct LVC training system capable of scientific training. This paper analyzes the results of V-C interoperability test with three fighter simulators as virtual systems and a theater-level wargame model as a constructive system. The F-15K, KF-16, and FA-50 fighter simulators, which have different interoperable methods, were converted into a standard for simulation interoperability. Using the integrated field environment simulator, the fighter simulators established a mutually interoperable environment. In addition, the Changgong model, which is the representative training model of the Air Force, was converted to the standard for simulation interoperability, and the integrated model was implemented with optimized interoperability performance. Throughput experiments, It was confirmed that the fighter simulators and the war game model of the ROKAF could be interoperable with each other. The results of this study are expected to be a good reference for the future study of the ROKAF LVC training system.

Insulation and condensation performance evaluation (I&CPE) is an important energy analysis. While considerable amount of data are already represented in a Building Information Model (BIM), the lack of interoperability between BIM modeling and I&CPE programs prevents the simulation process from being efficient and accurate. This study proposes a prototype of a BIM-based I&CPE simulation program, in order to enhance the interoperability between BIM modeling and I&CPE programs. This study discusses the information flow process, defines the required information and its level of detail, develops standardized libraries, and finally proposes a prototype that consists of a data extraction module, conversion module, and performance module. The assurance of interoperability between systems might greatly benefit architects and energy professionals.

We examine interoperability for integrated training simulation of a mechanized infantry battalion that uses a war game model of Korean army, Combat 21, and virtual simulators of K1 tanks. We discuss issues and problems for integrated simulation of the virtual and constructive models, including differences between the model scopes, model resolutions, engagement algorithms, and data consistency and training audiences of the war game model and virtual simulators. From these, we identify interoperability requirements. We propose ways of resolving the problems using a model converter.

시뮬레이션의 궁극적인 목표인 분산 시뮬레이션은 Virtual Simulation과 Constructive Simulation 이외에 Live Simulation이 동시에 참여하여 동일한 환경 내에서 상호작용 하는 것을 추구하고 있다. 따라서 서로 다른 목적과 기술로 제작된 시뮬레이션은 통합된 환경 내에서 사실적으로 상호작용 해야만 할 것이다. 통합 환경(Synthetic Environment)은 시각적 영상을 표현하기 위한 Visual Database 이상의 의미를 내포하고 있다. 상호운용성(Interoperability)은 타 Model 및 Simulation에서 부터 제공되는 기능을 사용하거나 기능을 제공할 수 있는 유용성(Availability)을 뜻하기 때문에 표준화된 통합 환경의 사용 및 교환을 요구한다. 1980년대 중반, 미 국방성은 Image Generator 제작 회사마다 독자적인 데이터베이스 포맷을 사용함으로 인해 시뮬레이터 데이터베이스의 중복성이 야기되고 있다는 것을 지적하고 통합 환경 데이터 교환 문제를 해결하기 위한 최초의 관련 연구를 수행하였다. Virtual Simulation에서 막대한 비용이 소모되는 시뮬레이터 데이터베이스의 제작 및 유지 보수에 들어가는 이중적인 비용 절감에 대한 관심은 최근 SEDRIS에 이르러 표준 교환에 대한 명세의 필요성이 보다 구체화되어 지구상에 존재하는 각종 주변 환경을 기술하기 위한 통합 환경표현 및 교환의 표준화가 진행되고 있다. 국내에서는 문화콘텐츠진흥원, 한국게임산업개발원, 한국전자통신연구원, 국방과학연구소, 서울대, 아주대, 세종대 등을 중심으로 연구가 진행 중이며, 그중 세종대학교는 SEDRIS 데이터로 사용될 원본 데이터의 충실도와 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 연구하고 있다. SEDRIS는 그 응용가능성이 무궁무진하여 향후 인공적인 가상환경을 대표하는 용어로 사용될 것이며, 공개된 표준을 통한 소스 데이터의 공유로 상호운용성을 위한 초석을 제공하여 궁극적으로는 비용 절감 효과가 있을 것으로 전망된다.

This paper recognized a need in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry for new programs and methods of producing reliable energy simulations using BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology. Current methods and programs for running energy simulations are not very timely, difficult to understand, and lack high interoperability between the BIM software and energy simulation software. It is necessary to improve on these drawbacks as design decision are often made without the aid of energy modeling leading to the design and construction of non-optimized buildings with respect to energy efficiency. The goal of this research project is to develop a new methodology to produce energy estimates from a BIM model in a more timely fashion and to improve interoperability between the simulation engine and BIM software. In the proposed methodology, the extracted information from a BIM model is compiled into an INP file and run in a popular energy simulation program, DOE-2, on an hourly basis for a desired time period. Case study showed that the application of this methodology could be used to expediently provide energy simulations while at the same time reproducing the BIM in a more readably three dimensional modeling program. With the aid of an easy to run and easily understood energy simulation methodology, designers will be able to make more energy conscious decisions during the design phase and as changes in design requirements arise.

As the distributed simulation system has been developed in the defense modeling and simulation, interoperability among heterogeneous simulators is essential to achieve the objectives of the distributed simulation system. However, the interoperability has been a problem to synchronize synthetic environment among many heterogeneous simulators that utilize different environmental data formats. SEDRIS (Synthetic Environmental Data Representation and Interchange Specification) was initiated to solve the problem of the interoperability. SEDRIS provides a standard mechanism to promote data interchange and reusability, and it represents all environmental things from ocean, land and atmosphere to the universe. Although SEDRIS provides various advantages as a standard environmental data format, applying of SEDRIS has been hindered by its broadness and complexity. The main objective of this paper is to explain application development process to improve SEDRIS usability for the atmosphere and ocean. The developed application of this paper provides auto-generation of SEDRIS data with minimum user's input, and the auto-generated SEDRIS data is also visualized and verified by the application.

The energy efficient design of the multiple stock housing is very important not only to save energy but also to increase sustainability in a whole city because the multiple stock housing type is dominated in the major residential supply markets in Korea. During the early design phase of the multiple stock housing type, the architect need convenient and accurate tools for evaluating energy consumptions based on building types rapidly. Building Information Modeling(BIM) is introduced as useful tool systems providing interoperability between 3rd dimensional modeling tools and environmental engineering analysis tools, and could reduce time and cost for unnecessary modeling works in the analysis. However, it is still hard to apply to building design practice and integrated energy simulation techniques because interoperability using industrial standard file formats such as IFC and bXML is still underdeveloped. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to perform the building energy simulations, to compare the results on typical building types in multiple stock housing based on BIM, and to clear the problems using industrial standard file formats between 3rd dimensional modeling and building energy simulation software. In addition, through comparisons with simulation results according to the typical building types such as building forms, orientations, and building stories, the interrelation ship and characteristics of BIM based building energy simulation software are analysed and evaluated.

There are plenty of optimization models for the signal-system of a single intersection and area traffic. Some of those models are adopted for the real traffic signal control system. The simulators for a single crossroad have been developed, so that we could evaluate optimization models and traffic control systems. However, the simulators for the area traffic are still being developed. Therefore, there are many limitations in the analysis and evaluation for area traffic control system. The area traffic is consisted of several intersections which are very complicated and many traffic strategies are adopted for the control system. This paper features an effective area traffic control system based on the High Lever Architecture(HLA). In this paper, we discuss the design of HLA-based area traffic control simulation. We describe technical motivations for the HLA, the key elements of the architecture and how they are minimum and essential to the goal of reuse and interoperability. A distributed simulation with HLA/RTI provides stable and satisfactory experimental results. Moreover, the prototype traffic control system provides reliable accomplishment compared to the NETSIM and TRANSYT-7F models.
