Abstract
Collaborative simulation conduces to the efficiency improvement of complex product design. Modeling, especially visualization modeling, is among the most important steps in building a collaborative simulation system. Applying Unified Modeling Language (UML) to High Level Architecture (HLA)-based collaborative simulation system will lead to a better visualization, understanding, design and construction of the system. A UML Profile for HLA-based collaborative system modeling (UML-HLA) was proposed to extend UML on the basis of HLA-specific characteristics. Firstly, we presented the overall structure of UML-HLA, and then the stereotypes, tagged value and theirs constraints in UML-HLA were introduced. Using UML-HLA may model HLA-based collaborative simulation system visually, precisely and effectively.
