Employment History:
President, Abstraction and Associates, LLC (9/01 - Present)
Technical Advisor to the
U.S. Army Model and Simulation Office (AMSO) (7/00 - present)
Providing technical guidance to the Director, AMSO, with respect to the
development of Army model management policies and programs. Current duties
include: programmatic support to major Army simulation systems, including WARSIM,
OneSAF, Joint Virtual Battlespace and the RDEC federation; defining the systems architecture
concepts for the Simulation and Modeling for Acquisition, Requirements and
Training (SMART) initiative; leading efforts to formulate and document Grand
Challenges for M&S; and supporting efforts to document M&S best practices.
Member of the Technical Staff, The MITRE Corporation (2/95 -
9/01)
Investigator for
HLA Runtime Infrastructure Verifier project (11/99 - 7/00)
Funded through the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO), the RTI
Verifier project developed an environment to provide automated assistance
in the verification of runtime infrastructures for the High Level Architecture
(HLA) and used the environment to conduct verification studies for
several commercially and government funded HLA runtime infrastructures.
Principal Investigator for
research project in composable systems theory (10/98 - 9/99)
Funded under the DARPA Advanced Simulation Technology Thrust (ASTT),
the objectives of Theory and Practice
in User-Composable Simulation Systems, involved identifying fundamental
aspects and limitations of
composability as a system objective. Tasks included: an evaluation of
composability with respect to computability theory, notations for the
specification and analysis of composable systems, and the correlation of
composability to other system objectives.
Investigator on OneSAF
architecture specification and analysis effort (1/98 - 10/99)
Funded through the U.S. Army Simulation, Training and Instrumentation
Command (STRICOM), the objectives of this effort are to specify and
evaluate a software architecture for the next-generation Army semi-automated
forces simulation, OneSAF.
Tasks involve: (1) distillation and deconfliction
of system requirements, (2) system specification and analysis through IDEF
modeling, architecture description languages, and real-time temporal logics,
and (3) prototyping and experimentation involving critical system functions,
e.g. simulation executive, behavior architecture, etc. MITRE's role
also involves coordination of related OneSAF research and development
being undertaken at SAIC, Lockheed Martin and within the Defence Evaluation
and Research Agency (DERA) in the UK.
Principal Investigator for
for research project in web-based simulation (10/96 - 1/99)
Led a MITRE Sponsored Research (MSR) effort entitled
Web-Based
Simulation Support. This two-year effort involved the examination of
web-based technologies as distributed simulation infrastructure and
evaluation of the modeling methodological impacts of web-based and
web-enabled simulations. Accomplishments of the research include:
initiation of the development of a Java-based High Level Architecture (HLA)
runtime infrastructure, the establishment of a special interest group in
distributed simulation within the Object Management Group (OMG), the
development of a distributed version of the Simjava simulation language
using Remote Method Invocation, and the development of an HLA interface for
Digital Image Design's 3Dream gaming engine. Investigator and Task Leader
on the Aggregate Level Simulation Protocol (ALSP) project (2/95
- 6/98)
Provided support in Systems Engineer role to the
ALSP Joint Training Confederation (JTC).
The JTC is comprised of up to 12 Service and
Joint simulation systems, and is employed to support several large-scale
Command-Post Exercises (CPXs) annually, in the United States, Europe and Asia.
Activities in support of the ALSP project included: review and evaluation of
JTC functional evolution designs, generation and review of JTC test plans,
JTC test coordination and reporting, VV&A process development and execution,
protocol maintenance and evolution, model specification maintenance and
evolution, and exercise support.
Co-author of DMSO VV&A
recommended Practices Guide
As a member of the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) Verification,
Validation and Accreditation (VV\&A) Technical Support Team,
participated in the development of the guide.
Research Associate, Virginia Tech Systems Research Center (8/93 - 11/94)
Served as Investigator on An Evaluation and Risk Assessment of the
Technologies Required for A Multiwarfare Assessment and Research System,
(Richard E. Nance, Principle Investigator).
Examined the modeling methodological implications of the proposed MARS
architecture and advanced distributed simulation (ADS) techniques such
as Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS). Factors considered
included methodological support for resolving underlying
differences in: (1) model use (e.g. training vs. study), (2) time flow
mechanisms, (3) conceptual frameworks, (4) levels of fidelity,
(5) implementation
languages, and (6) model objectives.
The investigation also included an Objectives/Principles/Attributes assessment
of MARS, a comparative evaluation of the languages C++ and MODSIM II with
respect to the MARS objectives, and a technical risk assessment of DIS.
Computer Systems Administrator, Virginia Tech Systems Research Center (9/88
- 8/93)
Managed Systems Research Center computing facilities which included:
VAX 11/785 running UNIX, SUN 4/330 SPARCserver running SunOS/Solaris,
two Bridge CS/100 terminal servers, DECstation 5000 series, DEC VT-series and
X-terminals, DEC lineprinter and Apple laserprinter under NeWSprint.
Maintained day-to-day operations; e.g. mail, accounting, file system
administration and backups, hardware/software installation and
networking. Configured systems to permit running under a
classified operating system.
Graduate Research Assistant, Virginia Tech (5/88 - 9/88; 1/90 - 8/90)
Investigator on IBM VISION
Architecture project (ALSP) project
Served on Simulation Model Development Environment: Its Application
to IBM's VISION Architecture, (Osman Balci, Principal Investigator).
Participated in the design of a simulation model specification
language for a Visual Simulation Support Environment (VSSE).
Constructed a compiler for the VSSE specification language using Lex and Yacc.
Conducted a simulation study of the proposed IBM VISION architecture using
a prototype of the VSSE.
Investigator on Model Development
Environment project (ALSP) project
Served on Model Development Environments: Experimental Prototypes,
(Osman Balci, Principal Investigator; Richard E. Nance, Project Manager).
