Model Based Approach to the Federation Object Model Independence Problem

One of the promises of High Level Architecture (HLA) is the reusability of simulations. Although HLA supports reusability with the Object Model Template, the Federation Object Model (FOM) Independence Problem arises when the developer desires to reuse a legacy federate application within a federation with a different FOM. Usually, federate code modifications become necessary. There have been attempts to alleviate this problem and they offer help to some extent, but they fall short of providing a flexible and complete mapping mechanism even when only Object Management is considered. In this work, a model based approach that addresses Declaration, Object and Federation Management services are demonstrated. The transition process is arranged into three distinct phases, namely, modeling, automatic code generation and component construction.

Model-based approach to the federation object model independence problem
Uluat, Mehmet Fatih; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2007)
One of the promises of High Level Architecture (HLA) is the reusability of simulation components. Although HLA supports reusability to some extent with mechanisms provided by Object Model Template (OMT), when the developer wants to use an existing federate application within another federation with a different Federation Object Model (FOM) problem arises. She usually has to modify the federate code and rebuilt it. There have been some attempts to solve this problem and they, in fact, accomplish this to some...
Data and Behavior Decomposition for the Model-Driven Development of an Executable Simulation Model
Ozhan, Gurkan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (2013-04-10)
In a previous work, we have presented a two step automatic transformation of Field Artillery Conceptual Model (ACM) into High Level Architecture (HLA) Federation Architecture Model (FAM) into executable distributed simulation code. The approach followed adheres to the Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) philosophy. ACM is comprised of a data component, based on UML class diagrams, and a behavioral component, based on Live Sequence Chart (LSC). The ACM modeling and its transformation to FAM for the common Adjustm...
Model-based code generation for the high level architecture federates
Adak, Bülent Mehmet; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2007)
We tackle the problem of automated code generation for a High Level Architecture (HLA)- compliant federate application, given a model of the federation architecture including the federate’s behavior model. The behavior model is based on Live Sequence Charts (LSCs), adopted as the behavioral specification formalism in the Federation Architecture Metamodel (FAMM). The FAMM is constructed conforming to metaGME, the meta-metamodel offered by Generic Modeling Environment (GME). FAMM serves as a formal language f...
Tool support for transformation from an OWL ontology to an HLA Object Model
ÖZDİKİŞ, Özer; DURAK, Umut; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (2010-03-15)
Designing simulation architectures based on domain models is a promising approach. Tools to support transformation of formalized domain models to design models are essential. Ontology languages offer a way of formally specifying the domain knowledge. We adopt a user-guided approach to model transformation, where the source is an OWL ontology and the target is an HLA Object Model, in particular, a federation object model (FOM). This paper presents a flexible transformation tool that enables the user to defin...
