            The IEEE DIS Protocol is a a carefully defined set of binary messages.
            We are also working on an experimental XML encoding for DIS Protocol version&nbsp;7, enabling opportunities for further

            validation and conversion.

This NPS course is an introduction to distributed communications in simulation applications.
Topics include introduction to the TCP/IP protocol stack,
socket communications including TCP/UDP unicast/multicast and essential protocol design issues.
Follow-on emphasis is Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) Protocol application programming,
with side looks at High Level Architecture (HLA). Course activity focuses on creation and testing
of network programming network code and web-browser applications.
