The CAD Services V1.0 Technology was recommended by the ManTIS to the Domain Technology Committee which commenced it's recommendation ballot in its Plenary, 13 July 2001 (see Resources, below for the technology submission documents During that plenary the CAD Services V1.0 Finalization Task Force (FTF) was chartered by the DTC in anticipation of a successful adoption.
An FTF is a peer organization to the Manufacturing Technology and Industrial Systems Task Force. The ManTIS supports FTF's of particular interest to it through it's web pages and meeting scheduling.
The FTF's Mission is to produce a Formal Technology Specification and to resolve issues that could impede the implementability of the specification.

FTF Report Approved by the Board of Directors, in Helsinki October 2002. This is now adopted technology. The Report will be folded into a formal specification by the Finalization Task Force in cooperation with the OMG Technical Editor.
The V2.0 FTF Report was approved by the Architecture Board in Orlando, June 2002. The report then began its 10-week eMail Vote by the DTC Plenary. On approval by the technical committee, the report will go to the Board of Directors for approval after they review the commercialization plans
The FTF report for the Distributed Simulation v2.0 has been made available on the OMG server. There are three documents:
The FTF report is 151 pages. Why so long? Recall that the OMG specification incorporates the "platform-independent" portion of IEEE spec P1516.1 and 1516.2. They themselves are over 400 pp. The FTF report attempts to resolve all the ambiguities, contradictions and typos we've found in 12 months of implementing and verifying implementations of P1516. Because the OMG spec can't change the IEEE spec, the OMG spec now contains a list of "interpretations" of the IEEE spec. We added about 100 pp to the OMG spec (see the convenience document). In the form required for an FTF final report, this is about 150pp.
We believe that the OMG spec as revised, with the IEEE specs, is complete.
Susan Symington of MITRE, probably the best authority on the IEEE specs, deserves credit for most of the heavy lifting to get the FTF report done. Thanks also to Frank Riddick of NIST for participating in the FTF and carefully reviewing its output.
