An Architecture for Integrating SCORM-Compliant Instruction with HLA-Compliant Simulation

This paper describes the architecture of the Simulation-based Intelligent Training and Assessment (SITA) system. SITA is a prototype system that integrates HLA compliant simulation with SCORM compliant instruction to provide a more robust and realistic virtual training environment. The SITA architecture is designed to address issues related to SCORMHLA standards interoperability, cross domain execution, code reusability and integration ease. The overall architecture and implementation details of the prototype system are presented in this paper. Air Traffic Management is adopted as the domain of instruction, and an HLA compliant Collaborative Regional Flow Control Decision Support Tool, integrated with a LMS and SCORM compliant instruction, is used to demonstrate the features of the architecture.
