  1. EDCS Equipment and Vehicle Descriptionin the Physical Environment SEDRIS Organization WG8 Meeting 20 - 24 August, 2001

  2. The Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) (IEEE 1278) community currently uses an Entity and Bit-Encoded Value (EBV) specification for describing information being passed in protocol data units (PDUs) For business case reasons the SEDRIS Organization has begun work to replace EBV with EDCS to improve simulation interoperability. This Presentation objective is to: Provide a brief background on the DIS EBV specification Characterize the scope of the EDCS additions, and their rationale Demonstrate example additions of how ECCs and EACs would work together to replace the EBV specification Overview

  3. Enumeration & Bit Encoded Values (EBV) • Authority: Enumeration and Bit-Encoded Values for Use with Protocols for Distributed Interactive Simulation Applicationsaccompanies IEEE Standard 1278.1-1995 & IEEE Standard 1278.1A-1998, August 13, 2000 • Content: Specifies the numerical values and associated definitions DIS PDU fields which are identified as enumerations in IEEE 1278.1-1995 • EBV replacement results in significant EDCS code additions in the following areas: • Vehicles • Equipment • Supplies • Expendables • Life Forms • Munitions

  4. EBV Information Categories* • Simulation Management • Distributed Emission Regeneration • Entity Management • Minefield • Synthetic Environment • Simulation Management with Reliability • Live Entity • Non-Real Time • Experimental - Computer Generated Forces • Entity Information / Interaction • Platform • Munition • Life form • Environmental • Cultural feature • Supply • Radio • Expendable • Sensor/Emitter • Warfare • Logistics • Radio Communication * Category names are exactly as used in EBV. For explanation of each category, see the EBV document.

  5. Entity Information/Interaction with Sample Data • Platform • Entity Kind - Land • Entity Kind - Air • Entity Kind - Surface • Entity Kind - Subsurface • Entity Kind - Space • Munition • Life form • Environmental • Cultural feature • Expendable • Expendable - Air • Expendable - Surface • Expendable - Subsurface • Sensor / Emitter

  6. Plans and Recommendations • Plans: • The content and style of this report be used for future EBV-like content capture • Report will be presented to EBV users at the September SISO Workshop • SEDRIS Organization will continue work to expand EBV coverage and submit as future comments. • Recommendations: • WG8 accept this report as material to be added to the next release of the EDCS for comment. (acronyms / abbreviations /symbols need reviewed / relocated) • WG8 members consider adding similar content, reflecting national interests, as future EDCS comments.
