Nowadays, systems are becoming more and more complex. Therefore, Modeling & Simulation (M&S) are also growing in complexity. That's why it is important to form, train and graduate students and faculty. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) host an international event of M&S oriented in, solving interoperability problems, Distributed Simulation (DS), and student cooperation. The goal is to use a DS standard: High Level Architecture (HLA) to simulate a moon base. Each team build a module of it and have to communicate with each other. This context will be propitious for student to learn HLA programming , in order to reuse it in an industrial manufacturing context. The use of HLA is interesting in order to couple already existent heterogeneous works.
