Automated Interoperability Testing System

This proposal intends to show an innovative and iterative approach to solving the large scale federation interoperability problem. Currently large resources including both time and people (and subsequently, dollars), are required to bring a group ofdisparate federates (models and simulations) together in a joined/interoperable federation. High Level Architecture (HLA) and other standards have helped in making the sum greater than the individual pieces but there are no tools to insure that the rulesof HLA as well as data structure are followed. The process is a manual (document) agreement of federation rules that each federate in turn is required to follow. Only when the federation is brought together are these rules
