MulTiSIM: An object-based distributed framework for mission simulation

摘要

The MulTiSIM object-based framework for implementing real time simulations is described. This can be used to create a world of interacting objects, distributed over a heterogeneous processing network. Communication between objects is handled by the framework in such a way that the operation of the objects is unaffected by changes to their distribution. A prototype of this framework has been implemented in Ada, augmented by support for object-oriented constructs. This has been used as the foundation for a helicopter mission simulator, operating in real time, some of whose features are also described.
