Layered simulation architecture: A practical approach

2013-03-01
This article presents a practical approach to the design of federate architectures for the simulation developers by applying a well-known architectural style, layered architecture, from a developer's perspective. Adopting layered architecture for an HLA-based simulation (i.e. a federate) provides a clear separation to the following concerns; the user interface (where the user can be a human or an external system such as a GIS server), the simulation logic, and the HLA-specific communication. Thus, layered simulation architecture allows the simulation developers to focus on each concern separately and gives them the freedom to implement each layer in a different programming language, and to encapsulate the repetitive and low-level implementation details of the HLA federate interface specification. Moreover, the article introduces a wrapper for the current HLA runtime infrastructure, and gives an account of the suggested implementation practices through a case study.

Actualization of the virtual: new consideration of space and time in architecture
Küçükbaşlar, Burcu; Yalınay Çinici, Şebnem; Department of Architecture (2006)
This thesis explores the interaction between virtual and actual realms in architecture through digital design process and developing environment qualities thereby. The focus will be on the projects that are designed in digital medium to be generated in physical environment. By examining the design attitude of selected four projects in this context, this thesis claims that the two realms of virtual and actual are interdependent. The framework of the study is based on Gilles Deleuze̕s definitions of أactualiz...
Multi-Layered. Simulation Architecture: A Practical Approach
Topcu, Okan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (2011-09-28)
This paper presents a practical approach to design federate architectures by applying a well-known architectural style-layered architecture. Applying the layered architecture to specify the architecture of an HLA-based simulation provides a good separation of concerns, which are the interface, the simulation logic, and the HLA-specific communication. Thus, the layered simulation architecture allows the simulation developers to focus on each concern separately and gives them the freedom to implement each lay...
Digital architecture as the extension of physical spaces : asymtote's New York Stock Exchange virtual reality environment
Ayoğlu, Halil; Yalınay, Şebnem; Department of Architecture (2005)
The aim of this thesis is to develop an understanding of digital architecture as an extension to the physical spaces. The thesis claims that Virtual Reality Environments (VREs) coexist, supplement, support and extend the physical environments. VREs enable the users to deal with manipulable, multi-dimensional, interactive digital environment. Asymptote2s New York Stock Exchange Three-Dimensional Trading Floor (NYSE 3DTF) VRE is a significant example to analyze digital architecture in this perspective. The 3D...
Understanding façade between design and manufacturing : a case study on high-rise office buildings in İstanbul
Şener, Duygu; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2006)
The thesis aims to examine how the formation of façades, that is, the interface with a dual response both to interior functioning and exterior urban fabric, is separated from the totality of architectural design by new technological developments and design intentions. This aim is accomplished in three sections, respectively: “analysis of the façade, the properties and formation process in time”; “examining the façade formation of the high-rise office buildings in Levent-Maslak area in respect to the analysi...
Analysis of the limits of representation of architectural photographic images in periodicals
Bakht, Nazlı; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2007)
This study aims to analyze the limits of representation of architectural photographic images in periodicals within architectural media that shape today’s architectural production. This aim is accomplished in three sections; “examining the power of image in architecture”; “examining architectural media” and “examining the periodicals’ attitudes towards using architectural photography”. A case study is done to uncover the relationship between the photograph and the medium that it takes place on and determine ...
