Integrating HLA-Based Distributed Simulation for Management Science and BPMN

Abstract

Modeling and Simulation are becoming more and more complex, making their design very challenging. Modeling and Simulation of complex systems requires simultaneous consideration of several points of view and the study of these systems needs skills belonging to different scientific fields. In Distributed Simulation domain, IEEE 1516-2010 -High Level Architecture (HLA) is one of the most used standard. However, it does not provide any official graphical language for defining distributed simulation behaviors. Business Process Model and Notation standard could be an interesting solution for defining HLA execution scenario. This paper present application experiment applied to solar power plant. Our proposition consists in restrict the HLA execution process in order to use one federate as Master, controlling the others as Slaves. This allows us to generate a component responsible for the simulation execution process with parsing a Business Process Model and Notation diagram. In this paper, we present an application of this concept.

An Agent-Based Modeling and Virtual Reality Application Using Distributed Simulation: Case of a COVID-19 Intensive Care Unit

“…Using the publish/subscribe (p/s) mechanisms of HLA and based on the FOM, those different heterogeneous components, called federates, can exchange data and information. HLA is now a well-established IEEE standard used by many researchers and engineers to solve their interoperability issues in the industry [27]- [30]. The DS domain is now becoming more efficient and powerful with web-based environments.…”

“…Currently, the HLA standard originally developed by the US Department of Defense (DoD) is considered to be one of the most widely used popular standards primarily used for solving interoperability and reusability problems in distributed simulation [16], [22], [23]. HLA is an established standard used by many researchers and engineers to solve their interoperability problems in the industry [24]- [28].…”

Empirical Study of Large-Scale HLA Simulation of Parallel Region-Matching Knowledge Recognition Algorithm Based on Region Matching

“…Therefore, experts within the industry have introduced computer simulation technology to further shorten the corresponding period, improve the corresponding training quality, and save the corresponding expenditure. It has been widely applied in many fields [ 6 – 8 ]. There are also many in-depth explorations in China and other countries, such as proposing corresponding high-level architecture (HLA), creating corresponding distributed simulation based on a flexible and customized architecture, and realizing the interoperability and reusability of various modules and simulation bodies.…”

“…During scanning, these parts do not need to be scanned repeatedly, and only important grid parts are scanned for specific pixel point judgment. [ 1 , 8 ] is used to determine the scan template.…”
