Transparent Modelling Of Objects’ Evolution

Supporting behavioural changes and in particular unanticipated ones is essential for achieving the behavioural evolution of objects. Object evolution is an important feature for war game simulation systems. This is the case because a unit’s behavioural landscape may be altered during the course of a simulation either by virtue of the simulation itself of by user intervention. For instance, an armoured vehicle unit may become a scout and later an artillery observation unit. In this article we present how objects’ evolution can be modelled and realised transparently using a role-based system as part of an High Level Architecture/Run-Time Infrastructure (HLA/RTI) federation.
