Military Simulation Big Data: Background, State of the Art, and Challenges

Table 3

Comparison of two MS big data platforms.

Platform	Application characteristics	Areas of focus	Technical architecture	Advantages	Disadvantages
SDG	Real-time; distributed; virtual and constructive	Data collection, storage, and query	Grid	Scalable; supports heterogeneous simulation	Deployment is not flexible; complex data processing is not supported
Scalarm	Super real-time; constructive	Simulation job scheduling; data storage	SOA, cloud	Scalable; flexible; support heterogeneous resources	Complex simulation such as distributed simulation is not considered; high performance data analysis is not supported
