: This paper describes a program module that administrates the RTI communication functions for the Bamboo virtual environment tool kit. The program module and its associated object model allow users to write Bamboo modules that dynamically load at runtime and promulgate to all members of the federation without explicit user interaction. Bamboo is a portable architecture supporting arbitrary virtual environments. Its design focuses on the ability to dynamically configure itself without explicit user interaction, allowing applications to take on new functionality after execution. In particular this framework facilitates the discovery of virtual environments on the network at runtime. Bamboo is ideally suited for its role in this HLA application. This simple demonstration virtual environment uses Bamboo and the developed HLA module to demonstrate the flexibility of Bamboo and HLA. The system uses a FOM that defines a simple object that is similar to a DIS entity state PDU. After ...
