3. Simulation Issues Addressed by SIMWARE
SOME ISSUES FOUND IN DISTRIBUTED SIMULATION
 Gateway solutions are difficult to develop, upgrade and maintain
 Lack of Convergence of Simulation Architectures
 Lack of common data models, protocols and data distribution mechanisms
 Performance requisites are not guaranteed
 Lack of plug&play capability
 Propietary Architectures of the simulators
SimWare contribution
 Gateways that deal only with data
 Interoperable Open Architecture for Simulation
 Plug&Play capabilities
 Performance and scalability guaranteed

4. SIMWARE is a complete environment to build and integrate simulators
A Real Time Data Bus for the data exchange in simulation systems
A SimuLink-based Development Environment for accelerating the development of simulation
models
Tools for
 Building simulators from the data model
 Real time management of simulation models
An Execution Framework for running the simulation
Integrated Gateway architecture for interoperability
A simple C++ API
Based on Industrial & Military Standards
1516
SimWare framework is compliant with Object Management
Group (OMG) DDS Open Standard (OMG DDS v1.2 and OMG
DDSI-RTPS v2.1), IEEE 1516-2000 and NATO STANAG 4603 HLA.
