Foil 62 Integration of DIS with Object Web Based Computing

From Java Grande: Role of Java in Large Scale Computations NPACI Summer Institute on Parallel Computing -- August 21 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


DoD modeling and simulation (FMS,IMT) 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.
Building HPCC on the Object Web implies that we can a common framework for both distributed (event driven) simulations and classic time stepped parallel computing
