HLA (High-Level Architecture)

High-Level Architecture (HLA) is a framework used to design and organize complex simulation systems. It provides a standardized way for different computer models or simulations—each representing parts of a real-world scenario—to work together smoothly. Think of it as a blueprint that coordinates how various simulations interact, share data, and synchronize their operations. This ensures that multiple simulations can run concurrently, accurately reflecting the combined behavior of the entire system, such as military training exercises or engineering analyses, making the overall simulation more realistic, flexible, and manageable.
