Features: HLA is a general-purpose technology framework for generating computer simulation systems. It enhances interoperability of simulation applications and reusability of simulation resources. It facilitates the integration of multiple small simulation systems into a large, complex simulation system and supports the expansion of existing simulation systems. This book is a comprehensive guide written by international experts in the HLA field. It provides vivid explanations of HLA with real-world examples. The book also includes a limited version of a commercial RTI (pRTI) tested by the DoD Modeling and Simulation Office, as well as a "test federate member" that allows calling HLA services without coding, enabling readers to experience HLA firsthand while reading. Additionally, the book provides all the source code for the examples, helping readers quickly become developers of HLA applications. This book is not a reference manual for HLA application developers but an introductory guide for beginners in HLA. It guides readers into the HLA field, helps them connect HLA concepts with practical simulation systems, and enables them to master the essence of HLA technology. This book is suitable for system engineers constructing complex simulation systems, developers of subsystems in large simulation systems, project managers and investment decision-makers, researchers in computer simulation and technology transfer, and can also serve as a reference book for university students studying computer simulation courses.
