New M&S techniques, methods and tools are emerging that take advantage of distributed simulation environments. One of the most mature and popular standard for distributed simulation is the IEEE 1516-2010 - High Level Architecture (HLA) that, although originally developed for military applications, is increasingly exploited in a great variety of application domains due to its capabilities to enable the interoperability and reusability of distributed simulation components. However, the development of fully fledged simulation models, based on the IEEE 1516-2010 standard, is still a challenging task and requires considerable development effort that often results not only in an increase in development time but also in low reliability. In this context, the paper presents a general-purpose, domain-independent framework that aims to ease the development of HLA-based simulations. Its effectiveness is exemplified in the context of the Simulation Exploration Experience (SEE) project lead by NASA and which involves several U.S. and European Institutions.

However, there is a steep learning curve. The annual Simulation Exploration Experience (SEE) presents the opportunity for multiple international student-led teams to gain experience in developing distributed simulations in an interesting lunar-based scenario. To support the student learning process, a prototype HLA Development Kit has been created that has the goal of reducing the complexity of distributed simulation design and implementation. A student-led team used the Kit to create a lunar excavator federate using agent-based simulation implemented in REPAST. The excavator federate successfully interoperated with the University of Liverpool UAV during SEE 2015. This paper presents a short overview of the Kit and experiences in developing the lunar excavator federate. Categories
