Continuation of the Experiment
Positive feedback from the Spring session
encouraged us to do it again Two-day, three-way
joint session of the PROC, EMF, and VVA forums
6
Advantages

• Encourages cross fertilization among different
  federation development domains and disciplines
• Provides additional flexibility to discuss topics
  or issues that do not fall neatly into existing
  forum structures
• Attendees will no longer have to choose among
  parallel forum sessions
• No duplication of papers or presentations within
  the track

7
Disadvantage

• There is less total time available for each forum
• However, this does force the PRPs to be more
  selective of workshop papers, thus improving the
  overall quality of the program

8
Other Options Considered

• Joint Track Meeting at every SISO
• Alternate between Joint Track and Individual
  Forum Meetings
• Maintain Individual Forums

Note that this is still an experiment! We will
be soliciting feedback from attendees throughout
the track sessions.

Track Charter

• This track is focused on topics and issues
  relevant to the development of HLA federations.
  The primary goals of this track are to
• exchange practical experiences and identify new
  developmental concepts/ideas for HLA federations
• identify best practices for federation VV
• identify opportunities and requirements for
  automation of key federation development
  activities
• assist in the establishment of SISO products
  which facilitate the federation development
  process
