Distributed Simulation Science
Authors: Margaret Loper
Abstract
Computing technology has advanced dramatically over the last twenty years, enabling new applications for networked simulation. Along with these applications are architectures and standards that support the interoperability of heterogeneous simulations. This paper begins by looking at the historical roots of distributed simulation, from an architecture and policy perspective. The paper then examines distributed simulation as a technology, which is based on the science of distributed systems. The paper identifies two key characteristics of distributed systems and then describes the modern distributed simulation architectures based on these characteristics.
