8. HLA overview - Standards use

9. HLA overview - Open International Standard IEEE • - Government • Industry • Academia • - Etc Simulation Developers & Users Sponsor HLA IEEE1516 Standard • - COTS • GOTS • In-house • Open source • - Other RTI and Tool Developers SISO Academia • Research • Student proj. • Courses Community feedback

10. HLA overview - Lollipop View • Each participating member is called a federate • Information is exchanged using an RTI • The information exchange follow federation ageements and a Federation Object Model (FOM) • The participating federates together with the FOM are called a federation Federate A Federate B Federate C Federation Object Model <FOM> <Shared object classes> <Shared interaction classes> <More> </FOM> Run-Time Infrastructure (RTI)

11. HLA overview - RTI & FOM Live Participants Interfaces toLive Players Support Utilities Simulations Interface Runtime Infrastructure (RTI) Federation Management Declaration Management Object Management Ownership Management Time Management Data Distribution Management • The RTI (Run-Time Infrastructure) provide a common services for simulation data exchange and coordination • These services are accessed by the participating members through well defined APIs (HLA Interface Specification) • A Federation Object Model (FOM) is used to refer to shared simulation objects and their attributes and interactions

12. HLA overview - HLA 1516-2010 (EVOLVED) • IEEE 1516-2010 - Standard for Modeling and Simulation High Level Architecture - Framework and Rules • Rules that describe the responsibilities of federations and the federates • IEEE 1516.1-2010 - Standard for Modeling and Simulation High Level Architecture - Federate Interface Specification • A standardized set of services to be provided by an RTI (Runtime Infrastructure). • APIs also provided in C++, Java and Web Services (WSDL) format. • IEEE 1516.2-2010 - Standard for Modeling and Simulation High Level Architecture - Object Model Template (OMT) Specification • A standardized format for Information Exchange Data Models such as the Federation Object Model (FOM) and Simulation Object Model (SOM) • XML Schemas provided

13. HLA overview - standardization of FOM FOM : data model exchange • Some examples of standardization effort • NATO MSG working group : NETN FOM • NETN = NATO Education and Training Network http://www.cso.nato.int/activities.aspx(MSG 106- SPHINX) • SISO : the new RPR FOM 2.0 http://www.sisostds.org/DigitalLibrary.(RPR FOM 2.0) • Someother in civilianindustry : RIM for ATM, SPACE

17. Using HLA in your simulator - Develop your application Pitch Visual OMT is a graphical editor and analysis tool for the development of information exchange models (FOM) between simulations using the HLA standard.  • Use case example : NATO MSG-068, 105, 106, SISO,… • Visual OMT was (& is) usedto study and create the NETN FOM in MSG group , used in SISO group for the RPR FOM 2.0

18. Using HLA in your simulator - Develop your application Pitch Developer Studio gives developers a graphical user interface to design and generate source code for an HLA module based in minutes. • Use case example: PRESAGIS, NASA, FRENCH MOD, ….. • Used by Presagis for adding HLA capability to STAGETMand Vega PrimeTM • Used by US Air Force in the Air Force Modeling and Simulation Training Toolkit (AFMSTT) program.
