Creating Computer Simulation Systems: An Introduction to the High Level Architecture

Abstract

1. Introduction. Why a High Level Architecture for Modeling and Simulation. An HLA Federation Has Software and Data Components. The HLA As a Standard. You Can Run Your Own Federation. 2. The Story Behind the HLA. Introduction. How the HLA Got Started. The Model of Technology Transition. Technology Development. Product Development. Customer Transition. Why Does HLA Progress When Other (Equally) Good Ideas Have Not? 3. An Overview of the HLA. Introduction. The HLA Defines a Software Architecture. The HLA Offers Services in Six Areas. Summary. 4. The Sushi Restaurant Federation. Building a Federation: Beginning an Example. Federation Management: Defining the Federation. The Federation Object Model: A Common Description of the World. Overview of Sharing Data. Sharing Data: More Details. Ownership: Responsibility and Cooperation in Modeling an Entity. Summary. 5. Synchronizing the Federation. Building a Federation: More on the Example. Time Management: Everything in Order. Federation Execution Lifecycle: Coordinating Independent Federates. Requirements Creep Sets In: the Demo Returns. Summary. 6. A Sample Implementation. Introduction. Exactly What Is Implemented. Running the Sample Implementation. Types Common to All Federates. Structure of the Production Federate.
