Software Architecture for Rapid Development of HLA-Integrated Simulations for Critical Infrastructure Elements under Natural Disasters

G. Kirov, P. Zlateva, and D. Velev

Abstract— The paper proposes a software architecture for rapid development of high-level architecture (HLA)-integrated simulations for critical infrastructure elements under natural disasters. It considers the main issues involved in a simulation of complex interdependent systems, which are a part of the critical infrastructure (CI). It investigated an implementation of the object-oriented (OO) concepts into a High-Level Architecture (HLA)-networked simulation, thus addressing sustainability of the HLA methodology into the future. The paper aims at developing an object-oriented layer (OOL) providing a high-level mechanism for HLA data exchange through local objects. It exploits the technical advantages provided by layering, object-oriented programming, strict HLA object interface specification, and data-centric execution while presenting an application for simulation of CI. The proposed architecture can be used as a research platform, in which new models of CI elements and interdependencies under natural disasters can be evaluated.

Index Terms— HLA/RTI, object-oriented programming, critical infrastructure, crisis management, natural disasters.
