Research of General Distributed Simulation Environment Based on HLA

The future distributed simulation standard of PLA will be based on HLA. Several institutes are developing different RTIs. Although they can provide valuable simulation results, these works lack the following: (1) the interconnection of different version of RTI; (2) the platform-independence and language-independence of simulation objects; (3) the interoperability of different simulation objects; (4) the reuse of simulation objects; and (5) the complexity of developing distributed simulation objects and simulation applications. We have investigated the feasibility of designing a General Distributed Simulation Environment (GDSE), which is based on the WWW theories and technologies and can partly resolve problems above. Furthermore, a basic design of GDSE is proposed.
