A resolution converter for multi-resolution modeling/simulation on HLA/RTI

Multi-Resolution Modeling (MPM) represents a real system as a set of models at different resolution in different abstraction levels from the view point of simulation objectives. The main problem for distributed simulation of multi-resolution models is resolution mis-matching in communication between simulators (processes) for different resolution models. Aggregation and disaggregation are methods for conversion of high-to-low resolution and low-to-high resolution, respectively. This paper describes design and implementation of a resolution converter in multi-resolution modeling of discrete event systems and distributed simulation of such models on HLA(High Level Architecture)/RTI(Run Time Infrastructure). A simple multi-resolution queuing model with multi-servers and multi-queues is developed and proved to be correctly behaved.
