DSS2 — Table 17: interaction subclass HLAmanager.HLAfederate...

Table 17: interaction subclass HLAmanager.HLAfederate.HLAreport.HLAreportUpdatesSent: how defined: With regard to the definition of the HLAupdateCounts parameter in the HLAReportUpdatesSent interaction subclass given in Table 17 it is not clear whether the number of updates is defined as the number of times the Update Attribute Values service was invoked by the federate for all object instances of a given object class, or the number of instance attribute updates that were accomplished by the federate for all object instances of a given object class.

Text should be added that clarifies that the number of updates is defined as the number of instance attribute updates. That is, if a federate has invoked the Update Attribute Values service only once, and in this service invocation were arguments for an object instance of class A and n instance attributes of type reliable and m instance attributes of type best-effort, then in response to an interaction of class Manager.Federate.Request.RequestUpdatesSent, two Manager.Federate.Report.ReportUpdatesSent interactions should be sent: one for transportation type reliable with an update count of n and one for transportation type best-effort with an update count of m. If that federate then invokes the Update Attribute Values service for an object instance of class A and one of the same instance attributes that was updated in the previous update of type reliable, then in response to an interaction of class Manager.Federate.Request.RequestUpdatesSent, two Manager.Federate.Report.ReportUpdatesSent interactions should be sent: one for transportation type reliable with an update count of n+1 and one for transportation type best-effort with an update count of m.

Add the suggested clarifying text.
