Abstract

This chapter presents a practical approach to the design of federate architectures (i.e., simulation member design) for the simulation developers by applying a well-known architectural style, layered architecture. Adopting layered architecture for an HLA-based simulation provides a clear separation of the following concerns: the user interface, where the user can be a human or an external system such as a GIS server, the simulation logic, and the HLA-specific communication. Thus, the layered simulation architecture allows the simulation developers to focus on each concern separately and gives them the freedom to implement each layer in a different programming language and to encapsulate the tedious implementation details of the HLA federate interface specification. Moreover, this chapter introduces a wrapper for the current HLA run-time infrastructure and gives an account of the suggested implementation practices through a case study.
