A society of simulation approach to dynamic integration of simulations

Published: 03 December 2006 Publication History

Abstract

A Society of Simulations (SoS) approach defines a semantics-based standard for integrating heterogeneous simulations. Heterogeneity, independent development, and cross-domain modeling are characteristics of behavior-based simulations that are built to address complex, non-functional situations. SoS is a dynamic data driven approach wherein emergent behaviors result from specialized simulations grouped together as individual members in a society. Each member simulation independently operates on its own understanding of reality. Members cooperate with each other to achieve the goals of the society while satisfying their own local goals. When members interact, portions of their models of reality coincide. Such interaction and coordination among diverse autonomous simulations is enabled through the implementation of a shared reality. Comprehensive, life-like situations can be modeled by applying the concept of a SoS.
