4.0 out of 5 stars Good overview of DoD distributed simulation, April 19, 2004

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Virtual Combat (Paperback)

This book is not for simulation developers. It is a book for someone who is new to the DoD modeling and simulation industry and needs to understand the big picture. The 36 page glossary is a plus.

4.0 out of 5 stars A better grasp on DIS, December 23, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Virtual Combat (Paperback)

I wanted to learn about DIS, and a friend reccomended this book to me. Even though I had very little background information on this subject, the author explained it in such a way that he did not cut out any information, but it could still be understood easily. The author goes into great detail about some of the more powerfull aspects of DIS, and with ideas that are a little harder to visualize the author provides helpfull illustrations, and diagrams.
After reading this book, I went onto other writings about this subject, and found my self understanding what the text was talking about before it finished describing the concept. This is a great book to get into the world of DIS, or to Strengthen your existing knowledge of it.

This review is from: Virtual Combat (Paperback)

If you are interested in the whitewashed politics of distributed interactive simulation, then this is the book for you. If you are interested in technical issues, then look elsewhere. This book is full of mis-statements and garbage.
