Aggregate level simulation protocol (ALSP) managing confederation development

ALSP provides computerized support, via a confederation of models, for joint military training exercises which allows the use of familiar training simulations. The collective group of simulations communicating via ALSP is known as the ALSP Confederation. The 1993 ALSP Confederation is composed of three service models: USA Corps Battle Simulation (CBS), USAF Air Warfare Simulation (AWSIM), and USN Research, Evaluation, and Systems Analysis (RESA) model. This paper addresses ALSP Confederation development and the management processes that focus this joint development effort.
