Abstract:
Originating from basic research conducted in the 1970's and 1980's, the parallel and distributed simulation field has matured over the last few decades. Today, operational systems have been fielded for applications such as military training, analysis of communication networks, and air traffic control systems, to mention a few. The article gives an overview of technologies to distribute the execution of simulation programs over multiple computer systems. Particular emphasis is placed on synchronization (also called time management) algorithms as well as data distribution techniques.
