Abstract: Data Distribution Management (DDM) is a High Level Architecture/Run-time Infrastructure (HLA/RTI) service that manages the distribution of state updates and interaction information in large scale distributed simulations, limits and controls the volume of data exchanged during the simulation. In this paper we focus upon the following three DDM schemes: Region-Based, Fixed and Dynamic Grid-Based techniques. In an effort to determine the most efficient model for applying the DDM service, we developed a mini-RTI Kit framework and propose a set of benchmarks to compare these DDM schemes. Using the RTI Kit, we performed extensive simulation experiments and present our analysis of the results of numerous federation executions.
