Abstract
In distributed simulation, various simulation programs, or else components of a given simulation program, interact as elements of a simulation-oriented distributed computation. The High Level Architecture (HLA) is a standardization effort that provides a general framework for promoting interoperability and reusability in the simulation field. When applied to distributed simulation HLA shows some drawbacks that limit the desired degree of interoperability and reusability. This paper proposes a CORBA-based approach to overcome such drawbacks and improve HLA capabilities. The paper also illustrates how to combine the use of HLA and CORBA for Web-based simulation, which is the extension of distributed simulation to Web-based network infrastructures.
Work partially supported by funds from the FIRB project “Software frameworks and technologies for the development and maintenance of open-source distributed simulation code, oriented to the manufacturing field” and by the University of Rome TorVergata CERTIA Research Center.
