Method and apparatus for verifying, analyzing and optimizing a distributed simulation

摘要

A method and apparatus for verifying, analyzing and optimizing a distributed simulation conducted on one or more simulation components from one or more control computers where the present invention may be overlaid onto a distributed simulation as may be conducted by technologies now known for conducting such simulations, where each simulation component has simulator middleware which is operatively connected to a control computer and where the control computer has agent-applications which it may send to the simulator middleware of one or more selected simulation components to perform a task such as gathering data about a simulation entity and return that data to the control computer for subsequent analysis such as calculating average characteristics or effectiveness of simulation components and having tools for optimizing the distributed simulation by modifying or creating agent-applications to send to selected simulators which change the parameters of the distributed simulation and re-run the distributed simulations.
