Abstract

Most existing HLA based simulation frameworks do not support simulation on WAN. To tackle this problem, we propose an Internet Communication Engine (ICE) based framework (ISF) that is capable of running on WAN, generating simulation codes automatically, and managing simulation procedures efficiently. ICE as well as its several powerful services is adopted to build discrete event driven applications and provide network communications. A use case of antimissile system is implemented with this framework, which is validated to have useful functions and be stable with running simulations on both LAN and WAN.
