Foil 5 Some Terminology

From Overview of HLA and RTI DMSO Standards ARL Training Session IMT Dec 4 97 -- Dec 4 97. by Geoffrey Fox but selected by W. Furmanski from DMSO


1 Federation: a set of simulations, a common federation object model, and supporting RTI, that are used together to form a larger model or simulation
2 Federate: a member of a federation; one simulation
  • Could represent one platform, like a cockpit simulator
  • Could represent an aggregate, like an entire national simulation of air traffic flow
3 A federate could be large or small grain -- for initial activity of integrating existing pre HLA simulations, a federate is typically large grain size
4 However HLA is a "complete" model and one could build simulations where a federate is finr grain object and federation is simulation of these interacting objects
5 Federation Execution: a session of a federation executing together
