The development of many complex simulation applications requires collaborative effort from researchers with different domain knowledge and expertise, possibly at different locations. These simulation systems often require huge computing resources and data sets, which can be geographically distributed. In order to support collaborative model development and to cater for the increasing complexity...

Connecting COTS (Commercial-off-the-Self) simulation packages entails various difficulties. First of all, commercially available simulation packages hide the access to some internal data that is needed to connect to other simulation models in the distributed simulation study. Next, the data sharing between simulation models is complicated. In order to carry out distributed simulation studies ap...

Simulation is an important tool in planning. Large simulations require a lot of memory and processing time. In many cases the long simulation times reduce the usability of simulation. In this paper, aspects affecting distributed simulation have been studied, including hardware, software and network related issues. Experiments have been carried out with a distributed simulator, Diworse. Simulati...

We consider the task of faithfully simulating a distributed quantum measurement, wherein we provide protocol for three parties, Alice, Bob and Eve, to simulate repeated action measurement using pair non-product approximating measurements by Alice Bob, followed stochastic mapping at Eve. The objective is utilize minimum resources, in terms classical bits needed communicate their outcomes common ...

Earned value management (EVM) is a well-known approach in a project control system which uses some indices to track schedule and cost performance of a project. In this paper, a new statistical framework based on self-starting monitoring and change point estimation is proposed to monitor correlated EVM indices which are usually auto-correlated over time and non-normally distributed. Also, a new ...

We have simulated a magnetite nanoparticle based ferrofluid using Monte Carlo method. Two and three dimensional Monte Carlo simulations have been done using parallel computing technique. The aggregation and rearrangement of nanoparticles embedded in a liquid carrier have been studied in various particle volume fractions. Our simulation results are in complete agreement with the reported experim...

This paper intends to examine the interoperation of simulation models from the viewpoint of a simulation engineer who uses standard tools and methods to create these models. The paper will look at the models in the context of COTS (Commercially available Off-The Shelf) simulation packages with a view to applying Distributed Simulation (DS) theory to the subject. By studying current methods empl...
