ABSTRACT: One of the most important new features in HLA Evolved is the ability to provide the Federation Object Model (FOM) in the form of several modules. While the standard provides a complete and stringentspecification of these concepts, the purpose of this paper is to provide a user-friendly introduction as

ABSTRACT: NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT) program Snow Leopard is supported by NATO Research & Technology Organization (RTO) Task Group MSG-068 Education and Training Network (NETN) in developing a reference federation architecture and FOM design for the NATO Training Federation (NTF) and NATO Live-VirtualConstructive Federation (NLVC). As part of the

ABSTRACT: Several previous papers have described a number of new concepts and services in the HLA Evolved (IEEE 1516-2009) standard, such as fault tolerance, update rate reduction and modular FOMs. Thispaper focuses on the particulars of the updated C++ and Java APIs. One reason for updating the APIs is to

ABSTRACT: “HLA Evolved” is the code name for the new version of the High Level Architecture that is expected to be completed in late 2008. This version gives developers and users of distributed simulation a large number of new development, deployment and net centric capabilities. While the new HLA version

ASTRACT: The High Level Architecture (HLA [1]) has its origins in the defense sector and was primarily used to simulate vehicle and troops movements. However, the HLA is not limited to this area. It is very suitable for simulating rail traffic, in a simulated rail infrastructure, and the rail traffic

ABSTRACT: Developing scenarios is a time consuming activity. There is a huge potential for saving time and money if feedback from end users and subject matter experts can be collected at an early stage and used to update the scenario. Scenario development tools often provide the user with a rich

ABSTRACT: Development of distributed simulations is a complex process requiring extensive experience, in-depth knowledge and a certain skills set for the Architecture, Design, development and systems integration required for a federation to meet its operational, functional and technical requirements. Federation architecture and design is the blueprint that forms the basis

ABSTRACT: Proper modeling is key in order to achieve effective interoperability between simulation systems. Base Object Models (BOMs) is a SISO standard that allows simulation developers to create object models that form a base or interoperability, even though the participating systems to be used have not yet been selected. The

ABSTRACT: The HLA Federation Object Model (FOM) describes the information that is to be exchanged during the execution of a federation. In earlier versions of HLA a federation had one monolithic FOM. HLA Evolved (the next version of HLA) introduces Modular FOMs which allow a federation to load FOM data
