Application of Grid Computing in Military Simulation
Weiping Wang · Acta Simulata Systematica Sinica · 2005
The Grid provides a geographically distributed and heterogeneous resource sharing environment. As Grid’s middleware, Globus toolkit provides an infrastructure for Grid-based application. The simulation community have begun to use Grid and achieved some experiences. After introducing the state of arts and the development trends of Grid used in military simulation, we discuss the services and supporting capabilities which the Grid can provide for military simulation and propose an architecture for simulation over the Grid, including virtual, constructive and live simulation. Our current research areas about Grid-based simulation are summarized in the end.
