==Alternatives==
In regards to the Distributed Modeling and Simulation (DM&S) industry the most often used alternative to the HLA, for real-time simulation of military platforms, is [[Distributed Interactive Simulation]] (DIS), IEEE 1278.1-2012, a simulation protocol. Most [[Run-Time Infrastructure (simulation)|HLA RTI vendors]] also feature DIS in their products.  As for middleware applications that most closely match HLA features, such as
the publish and subscribe feature (P&S) see [[Data Distribution Service|Data Distribution Service (DDS)]] which shares many of the same characteristics but having an open on-the-wire protocol for system interoperability.<ref name="compare">{{cite journal|url=http://community.rti.com/sites/default/files/archive/Comparison_and_Mapping_of_DDS_and_HLA.pdf |title=A Comparison of HLA and DDS |first1=Rajiv| last1=Doshi| first2=Gerardo-Pardo| last2=Castellote| date=2006| publisher=Real-Time Innovations| access-date=March 3, 2015}}</ref>
