Abstract

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 Web-based 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
