A Rendering System Independent High Level Architecture Implementation for Networked Virtual Environments

Abstract

The High Level Architecture (HLA) is the Department of Defense standard for networking virtual environments. This thesis implements a modular HLA component that can be used independently from the graphics-rendering engine used by the programmer. The modular design of the HLA component allows programmers of virtual environments to rapidly network their existing standalone virtual environments using the DOD standard networking protocol. The HLA component is being used to build a networked virtual environment compatible with Joint Semi-Automated Forces (JSAF). This networked virtual environment will allow a group of human controlled simulations to interact with JSAF controlled entities over common terrain.
