Application of service-oriented architecture to equipment SoS joint simulation

The complexity of equipment SoS(ESoS) bring the new technical challenge to simulation development and integration, Traditional simulation development and integration mode is limited by special technology, the mode not only Influence the efficiency of simulation development and integration, but also is not conducive to the reuse of simulation resources. The paper analyzed ESoS joint simulation requirement and the characters of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) technology, SOA can increase the flexibility of joint simulation, and support efficiently the integration of the legacy simulation systems. Designed the SOA-based architecture for joint simulation, as well as designed and built a SOA-based joint simulation prototype. Data from a set of performance experiments is presented and analyzed to demonstrate and prove the feasibility of SOA application in ESoS joint simulation. The work made the foundation for solving the ESoS complexity questions by SOA-based joint simulation.
