 <blockquote> <i>Abstract.</i>
 The Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol is a well-established IEEE standard for packet-level exchange of state information between entities in military simulations.  DIS facilitates simulation interoperability through a consistent over-the-wire format for information, widely agreed upon constant enumeration values, and community-consensus semantics.

 Anyone can obtain the IEEE-1278 standard and implement their own compliant, interoperable, DIS application. A large variety of tools and codebases simplify this effort, and enable multi-architecture integration of simulations using the DIS stand baseline. DIS focus begins with real-time, physics-based, entity-scale simulations, providing state update and interaction mechanisms which can scale to large virtual environments.

 This tutorial is a "DIS 101" introduction for software implementers and an introduction to the DIS philosophy for simulation systems integrators.  Examples are provided using the open-source Open-DIS library for DIS v7 and Enumerations support, available in multiple programming languages.  Ongoing work is included in unit testing of DIS streams, and Web-based implementations using X3D Graphics, as well as Compressed DIS and DISv8 development.
