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 * CD-ROM: all examples code, plus Windows-compatible HLA infrastructure software 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 fields no.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 HLAs technical and business rationale * HLA architecture and components, including the Runtime Infrastructure (RTI) and Federation Object Mod
