Simulation Technologies for C2IS Development & Training

Abstract

A functional overview of the High Level Architecture (HLA) distributed simulation standard Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1516 is provided. The Agent Oriented Software (AOS) intelligent software agent development environment, JACK, is described. Problems with the IEEE 1516 specification are identified and possible improvements outlined. A demonstration Internet Relay Chat (IRC)-like application is designed and implemented, which allows a Java application to interoperate with a JACK application through the HLA. A re-usable JACK capability is described which allows any JACK agent to participate in an HLA federation. A re-usable framework of JAVA classes implementing the HLA Object Model Template (OMT) encoding and decoding facilities is described. Finally, bugs are documented in JACK and the HLA Run-Time Infrastructure (RTI) used, and various design considerations and lessons learned are discussed.
