Integration and execution of distributed Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) events consume substantial time and resources. While the underlying distributed LVC technologies are mature, the methods for planning and integrating events are not. The IEEE Std 1730-2010 Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process (DSEEP) standard defines a process model for developing an event. DSEEP defines a set of seven steps divided into activities. The DSEEP process model provides representative inputs and outputs for each activity. However, the user still must instantiate the DSEEP process model and develop artifact templates. The development of a robust instantiation of the DSEEP process model is a substantial effort. The goal of the DSEEP model is to produce a verified distributed LVC environment to conduct the event. While distributed LVC environments can be created without using a well-defined process, not using a one adds risks to the event. The first risk is that the integration fails, and it may be difficult to discover the reason. The second risk is that the unverified environment produces invalid results that might not be apparent until the results are used. Based on years of distributed LVC event experience, the authors have created an instantiation of the DSEEP process model. This workshop will describe the complete nine step instantiated process and provide examples of the artifacts created by its execution. Lessons learned from executing the instantiated process and how they have been incorporated will be provided. This workshop will provide the detailed inputs, tasks, outputs, and examples for each activity in the step. The process presented includes issues related to distributed LVC environments using multiple distributed simulation architectures, live entities, and cyber.
