This paper proposes the use of constructive simulation as test bed to virtually experiment the validity of a decision support system devoted to plan the patrolling paths of a set of assets in naval operations. The test case proposed is based on anti-piracy scenarios and integrates a discrete event simulator with an Asset Allocator Decision Support System (AADSS) through web services in order to keep them aligned among themselves as well as with the existing situation. The authors included description of the proposed architecture that guarantees flexibility in terms of interoperability with other systems.
