Management and Control Techniques for Distributed Simulation System

For the purpose of helping users make better use of various simulation resources to conduct a variety of simulation experiments effectively, this article discusses the management tasks that support for building and executing HLA-based distributed simulation system automatically, and proposes some management and control techniques that achieve the management tasks. These techniques include formalized presentation of data, simulation system planning, computer node control, Federation control, resource management and data collection. They are integrated and implemented in Distributed Simulation Management System. This system manages and controls distributed simulation system effectively, and enhances the efficiency of simulation execution. Moreover, it designs different modules and tools, which support users to perform the management tasks.
