Standards provide interoperability and reduce time and cost to deliver effective solutions. This is especially true in areas like modeling, simulation, and training where a mix of existing and/or newly developed components often need to be integrated in a short timeframe.
M&S standardization leads from NATO Modelling and Simulation Group (NMSG) and the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO) will describe their standardization processes. You will hear from leads and proponents of three NMSG/SISO standards at different points in the standardization process: concept exploration for a new standard, a recently published standard, and a well-established, supported standard.
