ABSTRACT

The paper presents an application of the JINI™ technology as a distributed simulation framework. In the following the authors discuss the chance offered by the Object mobility, which is applied in order to obtain complete distributed approach to the simulation. The suggested approach, therefore, differs from the High Level Architecture in which a centralized software infrastructure is used to centralize the communication process and as well as the time advancing protocol.
