Abstract

Simulation interoperability and model interreplaceability still remain as goals to be attained in network simulation. We have previously developed a high level architecture for network simulators, named AMINES-HLA. In this paper, we discuss AMINES-HLA with respect to IEEE HLA standard, DEVS, and the architectures of OMNeT++ and NS-2. We describe two scenarios which demonstrate how simulation interoperability and model interreplacement can be realized through AMINES-HLA. In the first scenario, we show how a virtualized program and protocol stack can be used to replace a specific model in a simulator built on AMINES-HLA. In the context of the second scenario, we discuss how two simulators can be interoperated.
