The High Level Architecture (HLA) defines a federation as a group of simulators. The HLA does not define relations between federations. This makes any complicated structure of a system flat. The absence of hierarchy may bring several issues related to data exchange, security and reusability. The paper proposes the Hierarchical HLA that defines hierarchical relationship between federations. The ...

Such federations provide a single point of discovery and access. They collect the metadata from the contribut...

Data replication and deployment of local SPARQL endpoints improve scalability and availability of public SPARQL endpoints, making the consumption of Linked Data a reality. This solution requires synchronization and specific query processing strategies to take advantage of replication. However, existing replication aware techniques in federations of SPARQL endpoints do not consider data dynamici...
