We describe a heterogeneous simulation framework, so called DEVS-HLA, in which conventional simulation models and the DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) models are interoperable. DEVS-HLA conceptually consists of three layers: model layer, DEVS BUS layer, and HLA (High Level Architecture) layer. The model layer has a collection of heterogeneous simulation models, such as DEVS, CSIM, SLAM, and so on, to represent various aspects of a complex system. The DEVS BUS layer provides a virtual software bus, DEVS BUS, so that such simulation models can communicate with each other. Finally, the HLA layer is employed as a communication infrastructure, which supports several good features for distributed simulation. The DEVS BUS has been implemented on the HLA/RTI (Run-Time Infrastructure) and a simple example of a flexible manufacturing system has been developed to validate the DEVS-HLA.

Development of distributed simulation environment must be required in order to simulate the distributed models regionally and inter-operate with running simulations individually, Simulation based on DEVS formalism is difficult to simulate the distributed models. DEVS formalism is modeling methodology. To specify model, this formalism separates behavior and structure, therefore it is able to design complex model easily. HLA is standard framework of distribute simulation environment, It is defined to facilitate the interoperability and the reusability. RTI (Run Time Infrastructure) is software that provides common service to simulation systems and implementation of the HLA Interface Specification. Method of implementation is that modules cooperating with RTI are added to simulator on DEVS simulation environment. On the DEVS simulation environment (DEVS-Obj -C) that already developed, Highest class of abstract simulator uses service that RTI provide, then This environment is able to change DEVS model into Federate and run distribute simulation that inter-operates with the RTI. Because this distributed simulation environment includes convenience of modeling that obtains through the DEVS formalism and accompanies HLA standard, this environment make it possible to simulate with_ complex systems and heterogeneous simulations

In this paper, a DEVS(Discrete EVent Systems Specification)-HLA(High Level Architecture) interface was developed in order to perform the simulation using the combined discrete event and discrete time simulation model architecture in a distributed environment. The developed interface connects the combined simulation model with the HLA/RTI(Run-Time Infrastructure) which is an international standard middleware for distributed simulation. The interface consists of an interface model, a model interpreter, and a distributed environment interpreter. The interface model was defined by using the combined simulation architecture in order to easily connect the existing combined simulation model without modification with the HLA/RTI. The model interpreter takes charge of data transmission between the interface model and the combined simulation model. The distributed environment interpreter takes charge of data transmission between the interface model and the HLA/RTI. To evaluate the applicability of the developed interface, it was applied to the diving simulation of a submarine in a distributed environment. The result shows that a simulation result in a distributed environment using the interface is the same to the result in a single computing environment.

본 연구는 미국방성에서 시뮬레이션 시스템간의 표준화 분산 미들웨어 기술인 HLA와 이산 사건 시스템 형식론(DEVS: Discrete Event System Specification)을 이용한 가상전장 분산 시뮬레이션을 목적으로 한다. 최근 군체계 시뮬레이션은 지상전, 공중전, 해상전, 미사일전, 정보전 등 현대 전투개념을 모두 반영할 수 있도록 그 활용 범위가 넓어지고 있다. 따라서 기존에 개발되어 사용되고 있는 각종 군체계 시뮬레이션들을 통합하여 운영하려고 하고 있으나 각각의 시뮬레이션들은 그 목적에 따라 각기 다른 환경에서 개발되어졌기 때문에 통합환경을 제공하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존에 연구된 DEVS 기반 가상전장 환경을 확장하여 전장의 다양한 요소들을 계층 구조적으로 통합하고 HLA이 적용하여 분산 시뮬레이션 실험을 하였다. 이렇게 함으로써 분산 환경 하에서 통합 가상 전장 환경을 제공할 수 있으며, 대단위 부대의 실험시 시뮬레이션의 성능향상을 기대할 수 있다.

To perform the engagement level simulation between the underwater vehicle model and the surface model those are constituted with various systems/ sub-systems, we implemented four different federates as a federation according to the IEEE 1516 HLA (High Level Architecture) protocol that is the international standard in the distributed simulation. Those are CFCS (Command and Fire Control System) federate, motion federate, external entities (torpedos, countermeasure and surfaceship) federate, and visualization federate that interacts with OSG (Open Scene Graph)-based visualization rendering module. In this paper, we present the detailed method about the model constitution for discrete event simulation in the distributed environment. For the sake of this purpose, we introduce the DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification)-HLA-based modeling method of the CFCS federate that reflects not only the interations between models, but also commands from user and tactics manager that is separated from the model. The CFCS federate makes decisions in various missions such as the normal diving, the barrier misision, the target motion analysis, the torpedo launch, and the torpedo evasion. In the perspective of DEVS modeling, the CFCS federate is the coupled model that has the tactical data process model, command model and fire control model as an atomic model. The message passing and time synchronization with other three federates are settled by the $m\ddot{a}k$ RTI (Runtime Infrastructure) that supports IEEE 1516. In this paper, we provides the detailed modeling method of the complicated model that has hierarchical relationship such as the CFCS system in the submarine and that satisfies both of DEVS modeling method for the discrete event simulation and HLA modeling method for the distributed simulation.

War-game modeling and simulation system have been developed and applied to virtual tactical training both inside and outside of country However, most existing models have been developed for individual purpose based on the simple platform modeling such as physical modeling, visual modeling, and conceptual modeling. Thus, those modeling and simulation system cannot support the interoperability, expensively, variety and reusability. To deal with these problems, the paper propose an integrated design methodology for the War-game systems based on the DEVS/HLA.

Weapon systems composed of several subsystems execute various engagement missions in distributed combat environments in cooperation with a large number of subordinate/adjacent weapon systems as well as higher echelons through tactical data links. Such distributed weapon systems require distributed real-time simulation test beds to integrate and test their operational software, analyze their performance and effects of cooperated engagement, and validate their requirement specifications. These demands present significant challenges in terms of real-time constraints, time synchronization, complexity and development cost of an engagement simulation test bed, thus necessitate the use of high-performance distributed real-time simulation architectures, and modeling and simulation techniques. In this paper, in order to meet these demands, we presented a distributed real-time simulation system based on High Level Architecture(HLA) and Discrete Event System Specification(DEVS). We validated its performance by using it as a test bed for developing the Engagement Control System(ECS) of a surface-to-air missile system. The proposed technique can be employed to design a prototype or model of engagement-level distributed real-time simulation systems.

본 논문에서는 DEVS 형식론과 High Level Architecture에 기반을 둔 이 기종 시뮬레이션 환경의 구축에 대해 기술한다. DEVS 형식론은 여러 가지 방법으로 기술된 모델들을 동일한 형식론으로 간주하기 위해 사용되었다. 즉, 이산사건 모델링을 위한 세가지 세계관(world view)으로 기술된 시뮬레이션 모델들을 DEVS 형식론으로의 변환을 통해 전체적으로는 DEVS 형식론만을 사용한 것과 동일한 형태로 표현되도록 하였다. High Level Architecture는 시뮬레이션 수행시의 상호 연동성을 보장하기 위해 사용되었다. 이때, DEVS 형식론과 High Level Architecture에서의 시뮬레이션 시간 진행 방법이 다르기 때문에 이의 해결을 Synchronizer, EOS 방법을 제안하였다.

To implement a combined discrete event and discrete time simulation such as submarine diving simulation in a distributed environment, e.g., in the High Level Architecture (HLA)/Run-Time Infrastructure (RTI), a HLA interface, which can easily connect combined models with the HLA/RTI, was developed in this study. To verify the function and performance of the HLA interface, it was applied to the submarine dive scenario in a distributed environment, and the distributed simulation shows the same results as the stand-alone simulation. Finally, by adding a visualization model to the simulation and by editing this model, we can confirm that the HLA interface can provide user-friendly functions such as adding new model and editing a model.
