Abstract
Gateway refers to an intelligent translator which converts data between heterogeneous systems, to make the systems be able to interpret the received data according to their desired format. Setting up translations between data elements is the key of the gateway design. In this paper, we discuss how to formally set up these translations, resulting in two products: 1) a XML (eXtensible Markup Language) based model called Simulation Data Exchange Model (SDEM). A SDEM refers to the representation of information about objects shared via distributed simulation. It is the foundation of the formal description of translations. 2): a XML Schema based format to describe translations based on the SDEM mapping. The two products make it possible to create well-documented translations which can be reused in future activities, and in addition, we can easily verify the consistency and completeness of the resulting translations which will reduces the chance for errors.
