Applying a Methodology to Identify Structural Variances in Interoperations

Specification of the interoperation of components in a system-of-systems is a current research problem. Though the literature has identified several means of breaking this problem into levels, the literature also reveals that no single specification scheme can cover all levels of interoperability well. The base to be covered is broad: one needs an overarching model, such as the DoDAF for the military domain, to guide the capture of conceptual detail and at the same time provide a low-level base set of implementation specific details, such as DEVS, and protocols, like HLA, that create the study system.

This paper will describe a framework that will merge the various specification schemes and apply a methodology to define the structural variances between components. An example of multiresolution modeling will demonstrate the application of the methodology.

Key Words: Agent-based simulation • continuous and discrete simulation • discrete-event simulation • distributed simulation
