DAVE-ML

DAVE-ML provides a digital exchange format for aerospace vehicle flight dynamic models in a facility- and programming-language-neutral way, using open standards. The goal is to drastically reduce the amount of time required to move an operating, real-time simulation model from one simulation laboratory to another from weeks/months to less than one work day (possible future slogan: "Eight months to eight minutes")... This document describes a successful project to develop a text-based markup language, using the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) syntax, to exchange flight dynamic model (simulation/plant) data. This XML "application" is formally the Dynamic Aerospace Vehicle Exchange Markup Language, DAVE-ML. The concept was developed and demonstrated in the summer of 2002 by Bruce Jackson of NASA Langley Research Center for application to some projects he was working on there. It is based on simulation data standards developed by the AIAA Modeling and Simulation Technical Committee under..
