Research And Implementation Of Hla Simulation Federation Management Tool

In recent years, the distributed interactive sinmulation applications based on the HLA (High Level Architecture ) standard have developed rapidly and applied widly. These applications have become complex gradually. In order ro ensure their correct operation, A Special assistant software is needed for the system managers to monitor and control the federation. The Federation Management Tool (FMT) is developed for this purpose.FMT is a kind of internet application. It is built on the basis of HLA Manager Object Modle (MOM). FMT is made up of Manager Federate(MF) and several attached assistant modules just as Manager&Control Interface, Federation Status Database, and so on. As the core of FMT, MF is built according the rules of MOM.In the HLA federation, FMT runs on the Run-Time Infrastructure as well as other federates. It interacts with the federation and other federates and perform management function by publishing and subscribing object classes and interaction classes.FMT must has comprehensive management functions and a perfect intergrated structure. Distributed operating mode should be supported by FMT in the simulation network. FMT also must has an universal applicability and could be available in all kind of RTI and any simulation applications.FMT plays an important role in HLA simulation and has a brilliant future for application. A few abroad types have appeared at present, but no domestic similar type has been developed .This research project attempts to design and realize an independent universal FMT software, KD_FMT , in order to meet the requirment for application.At first, a reasonable concept model of FMT was brought forward on the basis of comprehending concernd resources and consulting overseas FMT software. KD_FMT was divided into two working mode with different authorities, Federation Monitor&Control and Federate Monitor&Control. Such division could satisfied the request for combination of centralized control and dispersed control.When planning the modules of software, KD_FMT was divided into the Manager Federate (MF), Monitor&Control Interface (MCI) and several other modules. That enable the development of KD_FMT become modularize. A Comprehensive function was attached to KD_FMT by synthesizing the all reference and amounts of practical experience.This project proposal a method to apply KD_FMT into general federations. By programming , the KD_FMT was realized in final. This project also had designd a test federation. A lot of tests proved that KD_FMT had well organized structure, Comprehensive functions and steadily reliable preformence.
