A component Architecture for Simulator Development
conference paper
Research, Development and Engineering applications require the rapid development of simulators,
preferably through the reuse of simulator components In order to facilitate the reuse and exchange of simulator
components, research institutes and industry in The Netherlands are collaborating in the SIMULTAAN project. The
main result of this project will be a sÃmulator component architecture that facilitates 'plug & play' with components to
build a simulator. Another result will be a component repository, which facilitates the exchange of simulator
components.
The realization of the simulator architecture is the Run-time Communication Infrastructure (RCI). The application
programmer is shielded from the complexity of simulator interoperability standards. In addition to inter-federate
communication, the RCI will also provide inter-component communication. If performance requirements are met, intercomponent
communication will be based on an available HLA-RTI, otherwise a dedicated RTI will be developed.
