Betreff: [x3d-public] [CfP] Call for Participation. DIS for X3DOM, X_ITE
I'd like to add "multiuser-aware" DIS to X3DOM and X_ITE, per this
section of the X3D V3.3 standard (or we can go with X3D4 if there's  a
link).

https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/dis.html#CommonDISfields

I have used open-dis-python, open-dis-javascript, and
node-disnetworkclient, so I think the only thing left is to define HTML5
browser to/from node.js DIS enabled server (or python server, if you
prefer).

Christoph, could you do a write-up based on open-DIS of the technologies
we could use in HTML5 browser to/from DIS sender/receiver gateway?
[CV:]No (reason below)


I suggest we start with X_ITE and work on fully implementing the DIS nodes
there.  We may need to send the address and port from the HTML5 browser
to the DIS sender/receiver (gateway).  I am not really sure what to do
to handle multiple DIS ports and addresses on a page.  Something to
think about in this case.  I don't know if the address/port is in the
PDUs or not.  Someone can answer that?

Do we need a DIS protocol which transmits addresses and ports? Seems
like X3D does that?   How is DIS-EXI doing?

Can we get xmlpg support for possibly adding addresses and ports to
PDUs? How do we route to HMTL5 browsers?

I suggest we reimplement https://github.com/open-dis/DISWebGateway[https://github.com/open-dis/DISWebGateway] in
javascript or python, so installs aren't a pain.   And if we go an
XML/JSON route for browser to DIS network communication, we use EXI
(comments?).

There should probably be one person writing the back end and one person
writing the front end.

Are there similar efforts?  Christoph has shown an interest in planning,
[CV:] You are right in that all people who are interested in X3D MU or
      in MU at all should cooperate. Would be funny, if the creators of
      collaborating did not collaborate :-)
      You are right, in that I have shown interest to be a part of this
      game in one or the other way.
      BUT IT IS A MISCONCEPTION to believe I would actively work on
      HLA/DIS implementations during my precious spare time.
      I once answered to Don - and I think everyone could read it - that
      I have done a personal decision to offer the scarce rest of my
      ressources to the Network Sensor (actually to the ALP) and to work
      for HLA/DIS only during office hours. If I install open-dis-python
      on my vServer, then it is just a favour to you personally, John,
      because I admire the diligence you show up, when pursuing your
      goals.

Thanks!

John
