SOLVING LVC INTEROPERABILITY PROBLEMS WITH SIMWARE
0 likes589 views
The document discusses convergence of distributed simulation architectures using the Data Distribution Service (DDS). It notes the vision for the future of modeling and simulation systems is for pluggable simulation elements delivered as a service over a network. However, realizing this vision is complex due to different standards, legacy systems, and security issues. The Standard for the Interchange of Simulation Modeling (SISO) is looking to customize DDS for the simulation domain via a Layered Simulation Architecture (LSA) to help address these challenges. DDS is compared to the High Level Architecture (HLA) standard, finding DDS more suitable for scalability, fault tolerance, real-time simulation, and less-than-perfect networks. The document presents Sim

Why use DDS in Simulation?
COMMUNICATION
DDS is centered in controlling the
communication
HLA tries to minimize the
communication. It cannot control it
DIS trust the communication
SCALABILITY and FAULT TOLERANCE
DDS has automatic discovery, is fully
publish-subscriber, no single point of
failure
HLA is central server based: scalability
and fault tolerance are difficult
