The tutorial is intended for decision makers who have recently come in contact with distributed simulation and need a top-level understanding of Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) interoperability and the supporting standards, technology and processes.  The purpose of this tutorial is to provide managers the necessary insight needed to support intelligent decision making.  The tutorial will discuss the business and technical domains of the technology and how it can relate to their project.  The tutorial will provide a top-level technology review of LVC interoperability, and provides sufficient insight into interoperability solutions and standards like DIS, HLA, TENA and DDS, the effective roles interoperability gateways and cross domain solutions as well as applicable processes that step users through the use of LVC solutions. The tutorial provides a relevant use case as the mechanism to explain the concepts and the solutions required to achieve success.
