RACoN - RTI abstraction component for MS.NET (RACoN) https://sites.google.com/view/okantopcu/racon

Copyright @ Okan Topçu, 2009-2024 otot.support@outlook.com

The RTI abstraction component for MS.NET (RACoN) deals with the HLA runtime infrastructure (RTI) level communication in order to access the federation-wide data (actually, the objects and interactions exchanged in federation). RTI is middleware broker software that manages the federation execution and object exchange through a federation execution. The RACoN provides the .NET wrapper classes for the RTI and RTI-specific data structures. As it offers more maintainable, robust, and portable methods, developing an abstraction layer (wrapper) over RTI is a popular approach in many HLA-based projects.
