Hello

4) I am thinking to another problem ("spin" in the setTimeRegulating 
function).

This federate does not have to spin, because the federation starts
by a synchronization point (all the federates are blocked at the time 0).
And this federate does not work if it is started after this point
because it waits after it ...

How to write a federate that must join already looping federates ?
In coordinated time, it has to catch the time before becoming
a regulator.
The invocation of the "enableTimeRegulation" service should now
be considered as an implicit "timeAdvanceRequestAvailable". I am
not sure that we are doing that.
(This can be important even for the Billard federate, in which
loop the RO or TSO messages are received at the initial time ?)
There is an argument to "timeRegulationEnabled" service that indicates
the logical time of the federate.
We have to verify the implementations of these services.

Bien cordialement,
