Abstract

Distributed simulation is used very little in industry, especially when compared with the interest in distributed simulation from research and from the military domain. In order to answer the question why industry lags behind, the authors have carried out an extensive survey, using a questionnaire and interviews, with users, vendors, and developers of distributed simulation products, as well as with vendors of non-distributed simulation software. This paper reports on the second part of the survey, namely a series of open ended interviews. We report on the responses we obtained indicating the discrepancies between the different "worlds". A categorization of these responses is given using which it is possible to formulate clear guidelines for further developments of standards for distributed simulation.
