DoD modeling community is currently evolving towards the HLA(High level Architecture) framework with the RTI (Run Time Infrastructure) based communication bus.
|
|
The goal of HLA/RTI is to enhance interoperability across more diverse simulators than in the DIS realm, ranging from real-time to time-stepped to event-driven paradigms.
|
|
HLA defines a set of rules governing how simulators (federates) interact with each others. Federates describe their objects via Object Model Template (OMT) and agree on a common Federation Object Model (FOM).
|
|
The overall HLA/RTI model is strongly influenced by the CORBA architecture and in fact the current prototype development is indeed CORBA based.
|
|
We next step is to combine CORBA2 (Initial HLA/RTI is CORBA1) with NPS prototype ideas to give a fully object and Web integrated event driven simulation environment.

Java3D is natural visualization environment in this scenario
