Hierarchical Federation Composition for Information Hiding in HLA-Based Distributed Simulation

This paper presents a hierarchical federation system interconnected among federations and proposes a hierarchical federation composition algorithm that composes federations into different compositions of hierarchical federations and then efficiently assigns composite federations to a distributed environment while enabling information hiding. We implement the hierarchical federation system and evaluate it using real networks. The experimental results show that our composition algorithm performs better than a random composition algorithm in optimizing the composition of federations while achieving information hiding.
