Abstract
Distributed Simulation has proven to be very effective in modeling complex system. Since High Level Architecture has turned to a strict DoD requirement several civil domain application have been experienced. Despite the high potential of the methodology the Industrial Community is facing some resistance in implementing HLA due to the lack of directly applicable tool. In this paper authors proposes a federation for supporting Supply Chain Management by integrating a set of Arena™ based simulator able to support the optimization of a Multi Drop Delivery problem using the Capacitated Routing Vehicle Problem (CRVP). The paper outline the main issues of the Federation Design and Implementation as well as a Real Life Application of the proposed methodology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
