Network Simulation of Technical Architecture
Abstract
The Technical Objectives provided here are taken from our proposal in response to SBIR Topic A95-062, Network Simulation of Technical Architecture. The General Simulation System (GSS), in conjunction with its supporting Model Development Graphics (MDG) and Run-Time Graphics (RTG) systems has been used by various government agencies over the past 10 years to simulate very large scale communications systems. There is now a multi-million dollar shelf of high quality, well documented GSS models, owned by the government, and in continuous active use running simulations to perform analyses and answer questions of current interest. The objectives summarized below for raising RTG to a complete hierarchical run-time graphics facility will position the GSS family of simulation products and the existing shelf of GSS models at a unique level of ABCS simulation support readiness for many years into the future: (1) Drawing icons using an RTG drawing board facility, including consideration for 3-D. (2) Transforming icons from the drawing board into the RTG icon library with rotation and scaling. (3) Transforming icons from the RTG icon library into a particular simulation as a normal or initial view, including rotation and scaling. (4) Transforming icons from the RTG library into hierarchical iconic models for a particular simulation. (5) Providing the modeler with generalized coordinate systems to be used in his specific simulations by his models. (6) Performing transformations on hierarchical icons at various levels in the hierarchy, while viewing them at different levels in the hierarchy. (7) Panning, rotating, and zooming on scenes (changing the viewpoint) in a simulation as hierarchical icons are undergoing their own transformation.
