Abstract
VTF (Virtual Test Framework) is a useful infrastruction for virtual-testing applications. The existed models and applications are mostly built upon HLA specification. In order to make use of these accumulated achievements, it is necessary to interconnect VTF applications and HLA simulation systems using gateway. Since the application interfaces of VTF models is generated according to VFL (VTF Language) file, the gateway should be dynamically re-generated when interconnecting to a new VTF application. The architecture interfaces or time management of exsited gateway is not entirely suitable for VTF. To address these problems, a VTF Gateway generated method is proposed in the paper. After setting mapping relations between VTF data and HLA data by users, VGCT (VTF Gateway Generation and configuration Tool) can generate Runtime Gateway automatically. We also propose a solution for synchronizing the two equivalent heterogeneous systems. Experimental results demonstrate that VTF Gateway is valid and correct.
