Abstract

In this paper we present a High Level Architecture (HLA) component model, particularly suitable for distributed multiscale simulations. We also present a preliminary implementation of HLA components and the CompoHLA environment that supports setting up and managing multiscale simulations built in the described model. We propose to integrate solutions from High Level Architecture (such as advanced time and data management) with possibilities given by component technologies (such as reusability and composability) and the Grid (such as joining geographically distributed communities of scientists). This approach will allow users working on multiscale applications to more easily exchange and join the simulations already created. The particular focus of this paper is on the design of a HLA component. We show how to insert simulation logic into a component and make it possible to steer from outside its connections with other components. Its functionality is shown through example of multiscale simulation of dense stellar system.
