Agenda • Current situation of data acquisition • Mobile Communication • High Level Architecture – HLA • Momeno-Project • Outlook
Field data acquisition Situation Data acquisition and processing are two distinct processes
Current Situation Situation Data acquisition and processing are two distinct processes Time consuming Expensive
Requirements Situation • What is needed? • User does the data acquisition in the • field
Requirements Situation • What is needed? • User takes the data acquisition in the • field • User defines the required type of • processing
Requirements Situation • What is needed? • User takes the data acquisition in the • field • User defines the required type of • processing • User sends the data to a remote • system
Requirements Situation • What is needed? • User takes the data acquisition in the • field • User defines the required type of • processing • User sends the data to a remote • system • Processed data will be sent back to • the user

High Level Architecture HLA • defines a framework for distributed simulations • Developed by the DMSO, under the US Department of Defense
High Level Architecture HLA • defines a framework for distributed simulations • Developed by the DMSO, under the US Department of Defense • IEEE-Standard (1516.1/2) for interoperable simulation components
High Level Architecture HLA • defines a framework for distributed simulations • Developed by the DMSO, under the US Department of Defense • IEEE-Standard (1516.1/2) for interoperable simulation components • Key feature: Separation of the communication and the state space

HLA • Distributed simulations consist of any • desired number of communicating and • synchronized simulators or other com- • ponents (=Federates) • Interrelated Federates forming a distributed • simulation (=Federation) • All communication is done via the Runtime • Infrastructure (=RTI) Simulator Runtime Infrastructure
Interoperability Federate RTIAmbassador FedAmbassador RTI HLA • Interoperability is supported by: • Implementing well known interfacesto communicate with the RTI. Due to the restricted communication possibilities, the interoperability within a federation is guaranteed on a syntactical level. • Every object type to be published or accepted by a federate is documented in a well defined way (based on the Object Model Template). This helps to realize a more semantic interoperability.
Project MOMENO • Mobile Measurement Network Optimization • Prototype • Data acquisition, sending and receiving • HLA: Distributed data interpolation and visualization
