Summary
CERTI is a runtime infrastructure for distributed discrete event simulations
developed at ONERA. It provides a set of services used by
simulators to interoperate (such as object management, time management, optimization services, etc.). Using these
services helps simulation reuse and interoperability. They are based on the HLA specifications. HLA is a standard
for distributed simulations. It was developed by the US Department of Defense. The HLA was approved as an open
standard through the IEEE (IEEE Standard 1516).
This is an open-source RTI (GPL and LGPL).

Why to use CERTI ?
- Because this is free.
- Because this is easy to install.
- Because this is portable and extensible (C++ source code,
Unix or Linux or Windows systems, TCP/IPstandard protocol).
- Because a complete example is given (certi/test/Billard).
- Because this is easy to use.
