Research on Service Oriented Distributed M&S Framework

High level architecture (HLA) is an infrastructure that supports distributed MS environment, but limited in local area network. The Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) was applied to the domain of distributed MS and a Service-oriented Distributed MS framework (SoDMSF) was proposed. The SoDMSF consists of four layers (model repository layer、 modeling layer、service deployment layer and simulation runtime layer), supporting the interoperability among heterogeneous simulations and enabling reusability of legacy models and simulations. The characteristics of the framework and key technologies involved were analyzed. A prototype system was designed and developed.
