Provisioning on-demand HLA/RTI simulation environment on cloud for distributed-parallel computer simulations

Abstract

In distributed parallel computer simulation, there are various simulation platforms supporting HLA on the Grid or Cloud, but almost of them shows lack of various aspects because of limitation of HLA. In this paper, we present an architecture of Cloud Distributed-Parallel Simulation Platform for HLA (CDSPH) supporting distributed parallel computer simulation on the cloud. It offers on-demand resource provisioning for scalable simulation, self-organization of adaptive simulation environment, and enhanced security by isolation between federation executions. Besides, it support web-based user interface to support easy access and simulation management. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
