- Description: The HLA community currently utilizes federate compliance testing to give federate users confidence that the way in which a federate operates is correct. This compliance testing currently involves a series of manually organized software-based tests and is performed prior to run-time. This does not cover the possibility of noncompliance-tested modifications before actual deployment. Addressing these issues could see the development of compliance testing for HLA federates which is automatically performed during federate execution. The goal of compliance testing---to ensure that HLA federates conform to the HLA standards---has strong similarities with the goals of computer security. This paper critically discusses the concept of automated federate compliance testing, its ability to cover multiple federate versions, and its application to HLA security

- Description: The High Level Architecture (HLA) offers a dramatic extension of reuse for distributed simulation components. At the same time the HLA represents a significant training and education challenge if adoption of the architecture is to proceed at an adequate pace. In this context it is appropriate to consider tools and techniques that support effective pedagogy for HLA. This paper describes two innovations that have proved useful in short courses for HLA developers. The first supports scripting of basic HLA interactions so that a significant first encounter with HLA can proceed without the cognitive overhead of program development. The second supports an extended HLA software development training exercise in which groups of students work independently on components of a complete HLA simulation. An exercise of this scope becomes problematic when incomplete and possibly incorrect components are tested against each other. The tool described offers an adaptable test harness of correct components, in various states of completion, against which students can initially test their work.
