Simulations are used extensively for studying artificial intelligence. However, the simulation technology in use by and designed for the artificial intelligence community often fails to take advantage of much of the ...

Most current approaches of parallel simulation focus on building new parallel simulation engines that require the development of new models and software. An alternate, emerging approach is to extend sequential simulators ...

As the Internet grows, traffic engineering has become a widely-used technique to control the flow of packets. For the inter-domain routing, traffic engineering relies on configurations of the border gateway protocol (BGP). ...

Federated simulation interfaces such as the High Level Architecture (HLA) were designed for interoperability, and as such are not traditionally associated with high performance computing. In this paper, we present ...

Discrete event simulation is widely used within the networking community for purposes such as demonstrating the validity of network protocols and architectures. Depending on the level of detail modeled within the simulation, ...

In discrete-event network simulation, a significant portion of resources and computation are dedicated to the creation and processing of packet transmission events. For large-scale network simulations with a large number ...

Presents an approach for creating distributed, component-based simulations of communication networks by interconnecting models of sub-networks drawn from different network simulation packages. This approach supports the ...

In this paper we discuss new synchronization algorithms for Parallel and Distributed Discrete Event Simulations (PDES) which exploit the capabilities and behavior of the underlying communications network. Previous work ...
