Welcome to GIT Defense Technologies and Simulation Laboratory

The objective of the Defense Technologies and Simulation Laboratory in Gebze Institute of Technology is to research and develop new techniques in distributed simulation systems. The focus of research in the center is both theoretical and experimental. Specific areas that are studied within the Lab are time management in distributed systems, causal order algorithms and HLA (High Level Architecture).

Recently we concentrate on performance analysis of causal order algorithms. We try to implement message ordering in a distributed simulation system with some of the causal order algorithms presented in the literature. It is aimed to compare the algorithms.

Another project in our laboratory is to implement RTI with a causal order algorithm. RTI acts as a distributed operating system in a distributed system using HLA, that ensures communication, synchronization and data exchanges between simulators. One of the services that RTI provides is for message ordering. To order messages in the system, RTI uses a time stamped message order algorithm. We aim to try causal order instead of it.

The laboratory was established at Department of Computer Engineering in 2002 and currently in use by a group of student at graduate level. Dr. Erdoğan Sevilgen is the advisor for all projects.
