CFI Forum Open Discussion

• What is the CFI Forum?
• What should it be doing?

Name Change 2 years Ago

• Run Time Infrastructure --gt
• Communication, Frameworks Infrastructure
• CFI focuses on technologies that support
  interoperation and run-time execution of
  distributed simulations. Historical examples
  include the HLA Run-Time Infrastructure (RTI),
  DIS, ALSP, and SPEEDES. The Forum will also
  consider new and alternate infrastructure
  concepts,such as web-based technologies. Topics
  include performance data, implementation and
  design details, usage strategies, networking
  techniques, fault tolerance, security
  considerations, and middleware or other
  frameworks for constructing, utilizing, or
  extending simulation infrastructure.
• Rationale for change
• Avoid impression of HLA-centricity
• Broaden scope
• eg, Composability is this Design or Technology?

Sample Topics

• Focus
• Too Broad? Not Broad Enough? Just Right?
• Quality / Style / Type of Papers?
• Topics Over- or Under-represented?
• More Activist?
• eg, HLA-Evolved-PDG (1516 redux)
• RTI Profiles / partial spec implementation
• drop MOM
• fault tolerance
• authentication of RTI connections
• New Ideas?
