Location is not enough

• The key in Modeling and Simulation is not so much where things are, but what they can interact with …
  • Remembering that “what” includes both systems and components of the environment itself

• A complete SRM must address:
  • Location
  • Distance (range, line of sight, geodesics…)
  • Vector quantities, such as direction
    (azimuth and elevation angle)

• Location interconversions between common spatial reference frames  do not necessarily preserve these.
