Table of Figures¶

Figure 1: The GIFT architecture diagram shows how the various components of GIFT interact. The arrows depict the flow of messages and interactions.

Figure 2: Message Flow through ActiveMQ

Overview¶

The purpose of the GIFT Interface Control Document (ICD) is to describe the interface, in terms of messaging input and outputs, of each module in the system. It does not attempt to describe the characteristics of each module but merely treat each module as if it were a black box. GIFT developers can use this document to create new modules in replace of existing modules by adhering to the messaging I/O described.

Figure 1: The GIFT architecture diagram shows how the various components of GIFT interact. The arrows depict the flow of messages and interactions.

Modules¶

Messaging Details¶

Each module declares two ActiveMQ queues that are used to receive messages from other GIFT modules; the “Inbox” queue and the Module Queue. The queues are named according to the following convention:
Inbox Queue: <module name>:<ip address>:Inbox
Module Queue: <module name>:<ip address>

The functions of the two queues are described below:

Inbox Queue
The Inbox Queue of a particular module is effectively its messaging address. As such other modules wishing to communicate with a particular module will address messages to the desired module’s Inbox Queue. Conversely, when a module communicates with other modules, it identifies itself using the name of its Inbox Queue.

Module Queue
This is the queue the module listens on to receive incoming messages – effectively it is the Module’s “Outbox”. Messages should not be directly sent to this queue because the Camel component of ActiveMQ will route the message from the Inbox to this queue as well as to other queues for logging and monitoring. An illustration of this process is shown below.

Figure 2: Message Flow through ActiveMQ

Upon receipt of a message, a module can reply, initially, with a:

• ACK message – Indicates that the message was received and successfully decoded.
• NACK message – Indicates that the message was received but was unable to be decoded.
• No message – Nothing is sent for messages read from a Topic or those messages whose header specifies that a reply is not needed (refer to message header attributes for each message type in this document).

Once a message is handled by the recipient module, the module can optionally respond with a reply message to convey additional information. For example, the sender of the LMS Data Request message would expect to receive a LMS Data Reply message which would contain all the LMS data of interest. In addition to specific reply message like the LMS Data Reply, there are two generic reply message types:

• Processed ACK – Signifies that the message was handled successfully.
• ACProcessed NACK – Signifies that the message was not handled successfully.

Currently only a single reply message (ACK and NACK are not considered reply messages here, e.g. LMS Data Reply) should be sent for each received message. Additional replies will be ignored by the recipient.

User Management System (UMS) Module¶

Details¶

The primary function of the UMS module is to manage a user session. It is responsible for storing information about the user such as biographical details, in addition to maintaining information about domain sessions. It does not, however, keep scoring records of user’s training history. That is handled by the LMS. The UMS also contains the message logger which is responsible for logging all messages sent on a single ActiveMQ network.

Gateway Module¶

Details¶

The primary function of the Gateway module is to listen for communication outside of GIFT and then convert it into GIFT messages and vice-versa.

When a message is received from outside of GIFT (e.g., VBS DIS connection), the Gateway module converts that message into a GIFT message and sends it to the Gateway Module’s topic (i.e., broadcasts the message).

Interoperability¶

The Gateway Module has simulation interoperability capabilities with the following standards. These interfaces allow GIFT to communicate with training applications that also implement the same standards. Each section will list the messages from each standard that GIFT can currently handle. Refer to GIFT Configuration Settings for more information on interoperability configurations and the other interoperability interfaces.

DIS¶

This interface uses JDIS library (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jdis/) to send/receive DIS PDUs.

For information on the DIS standard concerning these messages see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Interactive_Simulation

Detonation PDU
Entity State PDU
Fire PDU

Currently the DIS interop interface can send these GIFT messages:

Weapon Fire

ActiveMQ: Topics and Queues¶

GIFT uses ActiveMQ connections to handle transporting of messages between modules. For more information on ActiveMQ visit http://activemq.apache.org/.

Topics¶

Topics are used by GIFT to implement publish and subscribe semantics. A message published to a topic is delivered to all subscribers, so zero to many subscribers will receive a copy of the message. Only subscribers who had an active subscription at the time the broker receives the message will get a copy of the message.

UMS Discovery¶

The UMS discovery topic is used to obtain the address and status of available UMS modules.

Publishers
UMS

Subscribers
Domain, Monitor, Tutor

LMS Discovery¶

The LMS discovery topic is used to obtain the address and status of available LMS modules.

Publishers

Pedagogical Discovery¶

The Pedagogical discovery topic is used to obtain the address and status of available Pedagogical modules.

Tutor Discovery¶

The Tutor discovery topic is used to obtain the address and status of available Tutor modules.

Publishers

Tutor¶

The Tutor topic that embedded apps send game state messages to. One instance is created for each domain session that contains an embedded training application. Each instance is created by the Tutor Module when an Initialize Domain Session Request is received and is destroyed by the Domain Module when a domain session is closed.

Subscribers

Queues¶

Queues are used to send information from a single source to a single destination. The reader of a queue is the message recipient. GIFT uses Queues to send messages from one module to another module. Every module has a queue with the “Inbox” suffix (e.g., Sensor_Queue:192.168.1.113:Inbox) which is present in that module’s status message. The Inbox queue is used as the destination to send messages to a particular module. The modules themselves actually read messages from a queue with a similar name but without the “Inbox” suffix. This setup provides GIFT the opportunity to route messages to the message logger queue in the UMS.

Messaging¶

Overview¶

Communication between modules in GIFT is done through ActiveMQ messaging, for more information on ActiveMQ, visit http://activemq.apache.org/.

Prior to GIFT 2022-1 (Nov 2021) release GIFT sent messages formatted as JSON strings. Now GIFT uses Google protocol buffers or protobuf.

For the messages and data objects below, note the following:

Requires: This message or data object needs to also include all the properties of the required message or data object.

Assigned Value: This message or data object needs to set the indicated property to the specified value.

For the enumeration value type, use the string representation of the enumeration value

Protobuf Files¶

The GIFT protobuf (.proto) files that are used in this GIFT instance are found in the attachment:
protobufMessages.2022-1.zip

Time Stamps¶

Timestamps use UNIX (epoch) time stored as 64-bit signed integers. The Timestamp property in the GIFT Message Header should always hold an absolute timestamp of when the message was created. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time for more details.

Message Sequences¶

This section contains details about the sequence of messages for common events in GIFT execution.

Key:                            
S – Message Sender
R – Message Recipient

Start Domain Session
Once the learner starts a selected GIFT course, the following message sequence happens. The end of this sequence is when the first course transition is about to be handled.

Note: ACK messages are not shown.
Note: This sequence doesn't apply to a subject in an experiment starting an experiment's course. Continue reading for more details.

This message sequence happens when a training application course transition is reached. The end of this message sequence is when game state messages start arriving.

Notes:

• ACK messages are not shown
• The * indicates that training application game state messages can start arriving after the gateway module acknowledges that message appropriately.
