Members of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Working Group invite the public to attend a demonstration of new developments in technology and capability to rapidly discover, transform, and stream geospatial data from Internet sources into Modeling and Simulation applications using open standards.
The demonstration activities, part of the October 13-16 GEOINT 2013 Symposium, will be held in Room 24 at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida on 16 October. The Demonstration room will open to the public at 11:00 am EST. Visitors will have an opportunity to meet the developers and discuss the opportunities that arise from standards-based integration of geospatial and M&S systems.
From 2:00-4:00 pm EST in Room 24, a formal presentation will be followed by demonstrations of live-streaming elevation, imagery and feature data being discovered, accessed and used via OGC standards to provide real-world context for synthetic environments in M&S applications. The Demonstration will show simulations to support two hypothetical scenarios — a military rescue operation against terrorists in Yemen and civilian oil spill response activity in Hawaii.
The following corporations and government agencies have contributed data, hardware, models and simulation applications for the demo:
• CACI
• CAE
• Compusult
• DigitalGlobe
• Envitia
• exactEarth
• NOAA / US IOOS
• VT MAK
The demo will also show how M&S information and capabilities can flow into other systems and be integrated into other systems and applications using open standards.
