Linking astrophysical data and simulations through SEDRIS and HLA

Magnetar Games希望推广美国国防部制定的两项标准， 一般用于模拟、地理信息系统（GIS）和计算机游戏。第一 SEDRIS标准提供了环境数据集的无损交换。第二 高层体系结构（HLA）是一个标准，它为计算机仿真提供了一种统一的、可扩展的方法， 在分布式计算机系统上交互和交换数据的计算。Magnetar Games和PI 建议为SEDRIS和HLA平台开发天体物理模型，并创建原型 研究、合作、娱乐和教育的环境。该平台将首先关注 天体物理学，因为在天体物理学的固有的公共利益，因为大量的档案， 自由获取数据和算法。Magnetar和PI打算将平台扩展到其他领域， 未来，如地理信息系统，机器人，自然资源，应急管理和国防。

Magnetar Games wishes to promote two standards developed by the United States Department of Defense for general use in simulations, geographic information systems (GIS) and computer gaming. The first standard, SEDRIS, provides for lossless interchange of environmental datasets. The second standard, High-Level Architecture (HLA), provides a uniform and extensible way for computer simulations and calculations to interact and exchange data on distributed computer systems. Magnetar Games and the PI propose to develop astrophysical models for the SEDRIS and HLA platforms and to create a prototype environment for research, collaboration, entertainment and education. This platform would first focus on astrophysics both because of the inherent public interest in astrophysics and because of the vast archives of freely accessible data and algorithms. Magnetar and the PI intend to extend the platform to other domains in the future such as GIS, robotics, natural resources, emergency management and defence.
