Abstract
In the simulation field the demand for distributed architectures is increasing for several reasons, mainly to reuse existing simulators and to model complex systems that could be difficult to realize with a single application. In this paper the ASIA platform that aims at supporting the simulation design and simulators integration is presented. The paper focuses mainly on the comparison of the ASIA platform and the High Level Architecture standard. An example in the manufacturing field is presented as a basis for the comparison of the two approaches. Finally, some considerations are outlined in the perspective of the integration of the two environments.
