Design and Implementation of M2M-HLA Adaptor for Integration of ETSI M2M Platform and IEEE HLA-Based Simulation System

Abstract

For implementation of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) simulation, interoperability between physical and cyber system are required. IEEE High Level Architecture (HLA) is standard for distributed simulation interoperability, and ETSI Machine-to-Machine (M2M) is standard for integration between physical machines. In this paper, we propose M2MHLA adaptor to integrate HLA-based simulations and M2M physical machines. M2M-HLA adaptor is located between HLA simulation systems and M2M systems. This adaptor transforms HLA data to M2M data and M2M data to HLA data. We propose sequence structure between M2M-HLA APIs for interconnection, data type definition and transformation method and time management method for design and implementation M2M-HLA adaptor. Because of M2M-HLA adaptor allows interoperability between different cyber systems and physical systems, this would extend the scope of CPS simulation system and increase its utilization.
