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

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

Federation Execution: a session of a federation executing together
