We provide an example of programming in WarpIV in this section to illustrate this
simulator and PDDES paradigm as depicted in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Aircraft range detection scenario using two types of simulations objects (radar and aircraft).
The aircraft range detection simulation program implements a parallel distribute
discrete event simulation with interaction of multiple aircrafts and multiple radars. The
simulation randomly initializes the position of each aircraft object and each ground radar
object. Their position (X, Y, Z) is represented by the earth centered rotational Cartesian
coordinates (ECR). After initialization, the simulation detects an aircraft’s proximity to a
ground radar using a pre-established range value for detection.
The experiment executes several runs (24 in total = 8 for each time management and
synchronization scheme) with specific computing configurations. Table 1 shows the
results of this experiment and the different runs. These are the definitions of the columns
of Table 1:
