A framework of distributed simulation platform based on system of systems oriented design

Systems of systems (SoS) are large-scale concurrent and distributed systems that are comprised of complex systems. SoS has been widely researched and developed in defense, air transport, medical and health management area. Applying SoS related ideas and methods in some engineering design work can be denoted as “System of Systems oriented (SoSed) design”. Based on this concept and method of distributed simulation system, this paper proposes a General Virtual Operation Platform (GeVOP), and basic composition, hierarchical structure, and overall architecture of GeVOP are depicted, then a distributed simulation platform framework is proposed, finally, a simulation case is carried out to verify its feasibility basically.
