Analysis Federate
Abstract
Straight forward implementation of the HLA design principles would require the development of separate, specialized data collection and analysis tools for each federation that uses a different object representation in its Federation Object Model (FOM). The Analysis Federate is a general-purpose data collection and analysis tool that can be used as a composable component in any HLA federation that uses any object representation in its FOM. The reusability of the Analysis Federate across federations requires an extension of federate functionality beyond what is called for in the HLA design principles, which promote the use of a federate as a composable component of one specific federation that uses a single unique FOM. This paper introduces the technologies necessary to extend federate functionality in this manner. These technologies enable the Analysis Federate user to employ tools that automate the subscription, publication, and interpretation of federation data; as well as the ability to automatically generate a unique Simulation Object Model (SOM) for each federation that it is employed with. The Analysis Federate uses the Vision XXI graphical user interface and database. Analysis Federate users must write code to map a federations objects, attributes, and interactions to the Vision XXI database objects the first time the Analysis Federate is used in every federation that uses a unique FOM. This mapping is necessary to enable the Analysis Federates analysis and display algorithms to function in a consistent and reliable manner The Analysis Federate provides the ability to analyze HLA data on a real-time or post-simulation basis.
