Foil 68 NPAC's Object Web RTI

From Integration of Web and Distributed Object Technologies in a New Generation of Grande Programming Environments PDPTA Las Vegas -- June 28 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox


HLA is object model for distributed simulation and RTI is distributed event simulation infrastructure developed by DMSO -- Defense Modeling and Simulation Office
NPAC Implemented DMSO RTI as JWORB service with 2 major CORBA objects: RTI Ambassador and Federate Ambassador
Offers natural "DMSO Portal" i.e. Web interfaces to HLA simulations via HTTP or IIOP channels
  • This can link traditional and non traditional HPCC fields such as Integrated Modeling and Testing (IMT) and forces modeling (FMS)
  • Note databases used by IMT naturally supported in middle tier as this comes automatically from commercial base of POW
Attractive model for High Level Interface to Metacomputing as RTI provides a rich event based model for managing and controlling the coarse grain jobs present at middle tier
