Foil 29 Ownership Management Allows Shared Responsibility for Simulating an Object

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


Each attribute of each object has an owner: the owner is the federate responsible for updating that attribute
  • Called "owner-computes rule"! Any object must be updated by a particular federate
Different attributes of the same object may have different owners. One federate is updating an aircraft's position; another federate, subscribing to the position, is updating icing
"Privilege to delete" an object is an attribute owned by some federate
Ownership can change: responsibility for updating an attribute can pass from one federate to another. E.g., an aircraft modeled in an aggregate simulation could transfer ownership of the position attribute to a cockpit
Ownership exchange may be pushed or pulled
