Towards HLA-based Optimistic Synchronization with CSPs

Published: 10 June 2015 Publication History

Abstract

The High Level Architecture for Modeling and Simulation (HLA) comes with the promise of facilitating interoperability between a wide variety of simulation systems. HLA's time management offers a unique support for heterogeneous time advancement schemes and differentiates HLA from other general interoperability standards. While it has been shown that HLA is applicable for connecting commercial off-the-shelf simulation packages (CSPs), the usage of HLA time management in this specific application area is virtually always limited to conservative synchronization. In this paper, we investigate HLA's capabilities concerning optimistic synchronization and the imposed requirements on CSPs. For the first time, we outline its use in combination with a CSP, namely the Simulation Language with Extensibility (SLX). We report on initial performance results and potential limitations in the current HLA 1516.1-2010 standard and its interpretation by RTI vendors.
