AbstructComplex models may have model components distributed over a network and generally require significant execution times. The field of parallel and distributed simulation has grown over the past fifteen years to accommodate the need of simulation the complex models using a distributed versus sequential method. In particular, asynchronous parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) has been w...

Test beds for multi-agent systems provide the means for experimenting with multiple agents that act and interact concurrently in their environment. Mostly, test beds constitute specialized tools which provide speci c scenarios for testing speci c agentarchitectures. To facilitate reuse and a exible compositional construction of experimental frames for multiagent systems, JAMES, a Java Based Age...

It is still an open question in parallel discrete event simulation what conditions influence the performance of parallel simulation paradigms. We have developed a simulation environment based on asynchronous cellular automata that facilitates basic research into the concepts of discrete event simulation and parallel discrete event simulation, such as the Time Warp paradigm. We address the trans...

since the analysis of complex services systems by using mathematical modeling techniques, with considering the random patterns prevailing in them, is so difficult or probably impossible, improvement guidelines are often followed based on the experts' experiences using qualitative methods. in the present paper, by employing a discrete event computer simulation methodology, criminal trial sy...
