All essential components for the development of simulations with an Open and Interoperable Architecture are included in this package.

With SimWare Core package you can build a simulation system like a federation of Simulation assets, each one fully reusable and interoperable using DDS or HLA standards.

Our core package provides three essential components for the development of any type of simulation system:

• NCWare SIM Simulation Middleware. NCWare SIM is our real time simulation middleware based on the publish/subscribe paradigm and compliant with both IEEE HLA and OMG DDS standards. NCWare SIM offers a unified user interface (API) for Distributed Simulation developers. IEEE HLA compliance can be obtained using SIMWARE RTI or any other commercial RTI.
• eHost RunTime Infrastructure. It provides a development and runtime real time framework for hosting high-fidelity simulation models. eHost is based on an advanced real time Simulation Manager which controls a high resolution timer as well as the state machine of the global simulation system. This software can coordinate multiple simulation engines, running in a fully distributed computing environment where each simulation module node can be hosted in different CPU/Core.
• SIMWARE Modeler. This application provides a useful GUI for the design of SimWare data model and publish-subscribe interfaces of each node. SimWare architecture provides a HLA OMT based metadata model for this purpose.

This extension upgrades SimWare simulation models to real Simulation assets which can be deployed and managed independently in a Simulation network.

Asset Manager adds a GUI to the simulation model allowing to configure and manage its own parameters. In this way, reusability can be obtained to a sim assets level.

Open interfaces allows deployment as simulation services, enabling a Service based business model.

Simware AssetManager provides three useful components for developing and managing in runtime simulation assets:

• ARM-Asset Repository Manager, a database for configuration management & control of the catalogue of simulation assets.
• GPGUI-Generic Panel Generator UI, an useful tool for generating UI panels to configure parameters of sim assets during planning and to manage them during execution.
• ACS-Application to Control SimWare simulations, is a GUI that allows to manage SimWare state machine and sim assets parameters during execution. ACS is like a mini-IOS, with capability to manage simulation parameters to a sim assets level.

PowerLink provides a flexible solution to integrate legacy components into SimWare architecture and to interoperate SimWare simulations with other simulation or real systems.

Gateways are obtained automatically using a GUI, minimizing costs, time-to-market and risks.

Several types of gateways can be generated through the Modeler Extended application. This tool allows creating and modifying flexible gateways between HLA and DDS data models. These gateways can even incorporate conversion functions between HLA and DDS data. Future releases of this SimWare extension will provide connectors to other standards in use for Simulation and C4I systems, like DIS or MIP.

It is the first HLA middleware with an Open Wire Protocol, based on DDSI.

SimWare RTI takes advantage of DDS features to open the network interface and to deliver real time performance in data distribution.

SimWare RTI can be used as an standalone product, in HLA federations with real time requirements or with requirements to integrate with DDS compliant systems, and also as the HLA middleware to SimWare, providing HLA compliance to SimWare based solutions.

It is a HLA Run Time Infrastructure designed for Real Time Performance in large HLA Federations. SimWare RTI offers all the functionality of a HLA RTI with the performance, power and reliability of DDS. In release 1.0 SimWare RTI provides every simulation service required for Virtual and Live simulation:

• Federation Management
• Declaration Management
• Object Management
• Property Management

SimWare SimDeveloper is based on the Model Driven Development (MDD) paradigm, providing a Simulink based GUI for the development of Simulation Assets. Because no computing skills are necessary, SimDeveloper provides a very high productivity development environment for M&S engineers, minimizing time to market, reducing both cost and risk for the development of high-fidelity simulation models.

SimDeveloper provides a Visual M&S Development Environment. Based on Simulink, this tool focuses the development in the mathematical and engineering modeling, not in the coding, as postulated by the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) paradigm.

The use of SimDeveloper enables the concept of M&S repositories. The configuration element will be the engineering model, not the source code. Generated code is in full compliance with SimWare architecture.

SimDeveloper is based on Mathworks® products: Matlab and Simulink and their associated code generators. It generates ANSI C++ code that has the clarity and efficiency of professional handwritten code. The generated code is exceptionally compact and fast, essential requirement for real time performance.
