11th Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation - Paperback - VERY GOOD

Proceedings of the June 1997 workshop include 26 papers as well as two keynote presentations by well-known researchers David Nicol (PDES: So who cares?) and Georg Pflug (sensitivity analysis for discrete event systems). Other topics include dynamic load balancing strategies for conservative parallel simulations; performance modeling of the IDES framework; distributed simulation of spatially explicit ecological models; state saving for interactive optimistic simulation; timestamp representations for virtual sequences; adaptive flow control in time warp; using agents for simulating and implementing petri nets; and a workstation-based parallel direct-execution simulation.
