Management of HLA-based distributed legacy SLX-models

This article discusses management tasks that have to be supported for an efficient re-use of simulation models within HLA-based distributed simulation environments. After a review of the controversial discussions on the deployment of distributed simulation in the industrial domain, this article derives the need of support for such basic management tasks. Based on the practical experiences from an industrial project from the manufacturing domain, in which several legacy SLX models had to be integrated, we demonstrate how these management tasks have been supported and which tools were needed for this purpose. We furthermore discuss the results of the distributed simulation and show the necessity and the added benefit provided through its usage in industry.
