Requirements for Defining the TENA Meta-Model
Must support distributed computing
Must be rich enough in features to support the object modeling needs of the entire test and training range community
- Objects, Messages, Data Streams
Must provide a semantic unification of information amenable to the creation of a simple, yet powerful, standard TENA Object Model
Must be as easy to use and understand as possible given the above requirements
These requirements led to the invention of the Stateful Distributed Object, combining the best features of CORBA and the HLA in one easy-to-use concept
