SimulateWorld™ is a 4D (3D + time) virtual reality simulation and rapid prototyping synthetic environment for secure information sharing. It helps users align business and IT. One of the main differentiators with other simulation products is that SimulateWorld is “model-driven”, i.e. both system configurations and security policies can be automatically generated using model-driven engineering and OpenPMF model-driven security. It can be flexibly deployed on most runtime COTS & open source infrastructure, including SecureMiddleware , Web services, JMS, DDS, and HLA. Numerous COTS an open source technologies are available. SimulateWorld can be integrated with secure middleware technologies in the same way the real world is integrated. Various virtual sensor types are available, such as radars and vehicle positions, and other sensor types can be flexibly added as plug-ins. Furthermore, objects in the virtual world can be remote-controlled via the same middleware to allow the simulation of human behaviour (e.g. aircraft pilots) and events. SimulateWorld can run across the internet for larger collaborations or on the intranet for local simulations. One of the intended uses of SimulateWorld is the demonstration of secure information integration prototypes before they get deployed in the real world.
