Research on a didtributed simulation based on unified interface

With the scale of simulation system increasing rapidly, the distributed interactive simulation (DIS) faces the problem fo system scalability. One of main factors, which influence the DIS scalability, is that the lacks of standard defining interface methods, as the number of the system modules increased. This paper presents a method of defining an unified interface among different models. Then a DIS development platform based on it is established after thorough studies of the reasons that cause the DIS scalability problems. Finally we demonstrate the method by realization of an experiment DIS system in LAN environment. It validates that a practical system development can be carried out rapidly and efectively on this DIS development plaform. The experimental results show that the unified interface has general purpose for the design and implementation of DIS systems.
