The Rise of Web-based Simulation: Implications for the High Level Architecture

The relationship between the High Level Architecture and web-based simulation is discussed. The notion of interoperability is suggested as a binding force between these initiatives. The question is posed whether the HLA could serve as an interoperability technology for the commercial and academic sectors in the age of webbased simulation. Using the development and adoption of parallel discrete event simulation technologies as a case study, some of the potential barriers to DoD technology transfer are illustrated, and mechanisms through which these barriers may be overcome are suggested.
