HLA Course Objectives

The objective of this course is to provide students with an
understanding of the functionality and goals of the new
High Level Architecture (HLA) initiative. Students will
learn the basics of HLA, find out about the latest HLA
software tools, discuss ongoing HLA experiments, and learn
future plans for HLA. Concepts will be reinforced through
exercises and application demonstrations. Case studies and
migration strategies from DIS to HLA will be discussed
throughout the presentation.

Who Should Attend?

This class is designed for Managers, Project engineers,
Software engineers, System designers and Systems analysts
who anticipate future HLA system requirements or need to
become technically proficient for future HLA programs. This
course is oriented towards project engineers and managers,
current DIS users and developers. Anyone who will be
involved with Modeling and Simulation Applications will
benefit from this seminar.
