Abstract:

The paper presents a mathematical model of the communication process of simulators connected in the HLA (high-level architecture) architecture. Simulators, called federates, often use common data, the values ​​of which can change. Information about changes is sent to other federates interested in these changes. The problem arises whether to notify all federates about each change or to send collective information, minimizing the load on the network. In the first case, many transmissions occur between individual federates. In the second case, information containing redundant data for different federates is sent. The paper presents a mathematical model of communication processes between federates and criteria for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of these processes.
