Full Description

Scope

This document defines the interface between federates (simulations, supporting utilities, or interfaces to live systems) and the underlying software services that support inter-federate communication in a distributed simulation domain.

Purpose

The High Level Architecture (HLA) has been developed to provide a common architecture for distributed, computer-based modeling and simulation. To facilitate inter-federate communications, HLA federates interact with a runtime infrastructure (analogous to a special-purpose distributed operating system) using a standard application program interface. This specification dedfines the standard services and interfaces to be used by the federates in order to support efficient information exchange when participating in a distributed federation execution. A federation execution occurs when sets of federates are brought together to support an objective.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.The high level architecture (HLA) has been developed to provide a common architecturefor distributed modeling and simulation. The HLA defines an integrated approach that provides acommon framework for the interconnection of interacting simulations. This document, the second in a family of three related HLA documents, defines the standard services of and interfaces to theHLA Runtime Infrastructure (RTI). These services are used by the interacting simulations to achievea coordinated exchange of information when they participate in a distributed federation. The standards contained in this architecture are interrelated and need to be considered as a product set, when changes are made. They each have value independently.
