Abstract :
The Department of Defense (DoD) is currently embracing object-oriented programming as a possible solution to problems that beset current simulation tools. The object paradigm, while extremely powerful, has associated costs that must be considered. To realize object-oriented programming benefits such as object reuse (sharing objects between simulations), data hiding (encapsulation), and code reuse and extension (polymorphism), the DoD modeling and simulation community must build objects to a set design standard. The immediate need facing the military simulation community is to agree on and build a framework for object-oriented simulations
