Research on multi-samples automatic running mechanism for analysis simulation federations

The management federate usually relies on the services provided by Run-Time Infrastructure (RTI) to achieve the efficient management over federations. So far, various available RTI softwares do not support multi-samples automatic running that is necessity for analysis simulation federations. In a bid to improve the efficiency of analysis simulation and lower the strength of operation, it proposes the multi-samples automatic running-control framework for analysis simulation federations and three practical methods, that is, create-the-federation-multi-times method, join-the-federation-one-time method, and join-the-federation-multi-times method. An in-depth comparison of each method is performed. The critical issues, such as fault-tolerance and exception handling are also discussed. In a bid to demonstrate the rationality and feasibility of the proposed solutions, a prototype system of the management federate has been developed with the join-the-federation-multi-times method adopted. Research results are of certain guidance for analysis simulation federations of different types and levels.
