ALSP Common Module (ACM)
The ALSP Common Module (ACM) provides a common interface for all simulations and contains the essential functionality for ALSP. One ACM instance exists for each simulation in a confederation. ACM services require time management and object management; they include:
- Coordinate simulations joining and departing from a confederation..
- Coordinate simulation local time with confederation time.
- Filter incoming messages, so that simulations receive only messages of interest.
- Coordinate ownership of object attributes, and permit ownership migration.
- Enforce attribute ownership so that simulations report values only for attributes they own.

Famous quotes containing the word common:
“The mere fact of leaving ultimate social control in the hands of the people has not guaranteed that men will be able to conduct their lives as free men. Those societies where men know they are free are often democracies, but sometimes they have strong chiefs and kings. ... they have, however, one common characteristic: they are all alike in making certain freedoms common to all citizens, and inalienable.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
