CBA® Technical Features

Technical Features

• XML-driven Fractal Containment^TM object assembly model
• Run-time component assembly
• Peer object model; no object is more important than another
• Executive, timing, and general object life-cycle management to control execution
• List-based processing model
• Dynamic object addition and removal
• Discovery services allow objects to find each other at runtime
• Notification center "bulletin board" for inter-object events
• Programmable object categorization and grouping
• Multicast-based "data bus" reflected memory system for data sharing
• TCP-based event system for transmitting events from hardware devices and user interfaces
• View/Controller model for distributing graphical user interfaces over the network
• Ability for remote users to connect to and interact with any object that provides a network interface
• Users can dynamically switch from one object to another and control multiple objects simultaneously
• Scalability from laptops through multiple racked computer configurations
• Problem-domain neutral
• Third-party extensible
• Soft or hard real-time support with programmable frame rates
• Java development platform
• Ability to integrate C, C++, Fortran, Ada, or other models
• Supported on Linux or Windows Intel PCs

CBA supports Live/Virtual/Constructive (LVC) simulation in any combination. The number of constructive entities that can be supported simultaneously is limited only by the processing power of the simulation host. Built-in DIS v6 support means you can participate in distributed exercises with only a minor amount of configuration to specify how to handle the entity types on the network.
