Editing Distributed Interactive Simulation (section)

==The DIS family of standards==
DIS is defined under IEEE Standard 1278:

* IEEE 1278–1993 - Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Application protocols
* IEEE 1278.1-1995 - Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Application protocols
* IEEE 1278.1-1995 - Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Application protocols (Corrections) <ref name="std1278.1">{{cite web|url=http://standards.ieee.org/reading/ieee/updates/errata/1278.1-1995.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001020024300/http://standards.ieee.org/reading/ieee/updates/errata/1278.1-1995.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 20, 2000|title=Corrections to Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Application protocols|publisher=[[IEEE]]|access-date=24 April 2017}}</ref>
* IEEE 1278.1A-1998 - Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Application protocols  Errata (May 1998)
* IEEE 1278.1-2012 - Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Application protocols
* IEEE-1278.2-1995 - Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Communication Services and Profiles
* IEEE 1278.3-1996 - Recommended Practice for Distributed Interactive Simulation - Exercise Management and Feedback
* IEEE 1278.4-1997 - Recommended Practice for Distributed Interactive - Verification Validation & Accreditation
* IEEE P1278.5-XXXX - Fidelity Description Requirements (never published)

In addition to the IEEE standards, the [[Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization]] (SISO) maintains and publishes an "enumerations and bit encoded fields" document yearly. This document is referenced by the IEEE standards and used by DIS, TENA and HLA federations.  Both PDF and XML versions are available.
