Interoperating COTS Simulation Modelling Packages: A Call for the Standardisation of Entity Representation in the High Level Architecture Object Model …
Abstract
The High Level Architecture is the defacto standard for distributed simulation. Although widely used in defence-related real-time, virtual distributed simulations, the High Level Architecture has yet to make a significant impact in other simulation application areas that use COTS simulation modelling packages. There are many possible reasons for this. In an attempt to make progress in the development of distributed COTS simulation modelling applications, this paper discusses the use of the OMT in this area. This paper argues that the entity is the basis of information exchange between distributed models and that there is a the need for the standardisation of entity representation in the HLA Object Model Template. The paper attempts to do this by presenting a simple distributed simulation and demonstrates how entities can be represented in the Object Model Template as attributes and as interactions. The paper concludes that while neither representation is ideal, both can be used to represent entities and that standardisation is urgently needed.

Collaborative simulation modelling, as defined by the GROUPSIM Network, involves the study of human-to-human interaction, computer-to-computer interaction, and synergies between the two, to support simulation modelling practices. This paper investigates the improvement of human-to-human interaction through the use of groupware. Interaction is introduced as C3, a combination of communication, coordination and collaboration. Simulation modelling introduces from the perspective of the roles that people take in a simulation study and the tasks that these roles must perform. The paper then presents results from an evaluation of NetMeeing groupware in the support of human-to-human collaboration. Several novel areas of future research are suggested.
We present the views of five researchers and practitioners of distributed simulation. Collectively we attempt to address what the implications of distributed simulation are for industry. It is hoped that the views contained herein, and the presentations made by the panelists at the 2002 Winter Simulation Conference will raise awareness and stimulate further discussion on the application of distributed simulation methods and technology in an area that is yet to benefit from the arguable economic benefits that this technique promises.
