Editing Run-time infrastructure (simulation) (section)

In [[simulation]], '''run-time infrastructure (RTI)''' is a [[middleware]] that is required when implementing the [[High Level Architecture (simulation)|High Level Architecture]] (HLA). RTI
is the fundamental component of [[High Level Architecture (simulation)|HLA]]. It provides a set of software services that are necessary to support [[Federation (information technology)|federates]] to coordinate their operations and data exchange during a runtime execution. In other sense, it is the implementation of the HLA interface specification but is not itself part of specification. Modern RTI implementations conform to the IEEE 1516 and/or HLA 1.3 [[application programming interface|API]] specifications. These specifications do not include a network protocol for RTI.  It is up to the implementors of an RTI to create a specification.  Due to this, interoperability between RTI products and often, RTI versions, should not be assumed unless the vendor specifies interoperability with other products or versions.
