High Level Architecture(HLA) is a specification for interoperation among heterogeneous simulators which are executed in a distributed environment. HLA originally allows a number of federates to join in a federation using a single RTI(Run-Time Infrastructure). To interoperate federations without modifying RTI, agent federate, which represents behavior of a federation, can be used. Agent federate can use MOM(Management Object Model) service or agent-user protocol to acquire information of a federation. This paper performs various experiments to measure performance of two architectures. MOM service shows a loss of performance but can be applied without modifying user federates. Experiment results can be used to determine appropriate architecture for interoperation of federations.

High Level Architecture(HLA) is a specification for interoperation among heterogeneous simulators which are executed in a distributed environment. HLA originally allows many federates to join in a federation using a single RTI(Run-Time Infrastructure). As the target systems become more complex, the need for the interoperation of federations, performed in a RTI-RTI interoperation environment, has been growing. It can be performed by the confederation interface with the agents, which subrogate the API calls and callbacks of each federation. The existing studies have assumed that the object models of each federation are based on same HLA standard and their object descriptions are equal. Because the existing federations are usually not under this assumption, this paper proposes the integration process of object models for the federation interoperation environment. To integrate the object models for the interoperation of federations, this process resolves the differences of HLA standards, provides conversion process between objects with different descriptions and excludes the security objects. We expect that this process enhances the reusability and effectiveness of interoperation of federations in various domains.
