CREATING COMPUTER SIMULATION SYSTEMS - AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HIGH LEVEL ARCHITECTURE

Master HLA: The worldwide standard for simulation and modeling components;
Detailed coverage for decision-makers and technical professionals.
Extended tutorial example: apply HLA to a real-world problem;
The comprehensive guide to HLA, the worldwide standard for simulation components!
If you want to succeed in the new worldwide market for plug-in simulation components, Creating Computer Simulation Systems will show you how. This is the only comprehensive guide to the High Level Architecture (HLA), the new global standard for creating component-based computer models and simulations. HLA was recently adopted by the field's #1 customer, the United States Department of Defense-but it will be equally exciting for commercial applications, even including gaming.
In this book, recognized leaders of the HLA community present detailed coverage for decision-makers, software engineers, architects, and project managers alike. Coverage includes:
A high-level overview of HLA's technical and business rationale;
HLA architecture and components, including the Runtime Infrastructure (RTI) and Federation Object Model (FOM);
An extended tutorial that shows HLA at work solving a significant real-world simulation problem;
Advanced technical topics related to HLA implementation;
The accompanying website contains a complete implementation of the HLA Runtime Infrastructure for Windows compatible and other computers, as well as "Test Federate" software you can use to invoke HLA services withoutcoding.
Whether you're a manager, developer, or integrator, HLA will drive the next revolution in simulation-and this book can help you play a leading role.
