Simulating Discrete-Event Models in the Classic Worldviews: A New Approach to Simultaneous Events and Parallel Execution

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter describes a new approach to the activity scanning worldview of discrete-event simulation. With this new approach it becomes possible to realize activity scanning simulations with a parallel computer while resolving simultaneous events in a repeatable manner. The motivation for this approach is the two-phase simulation procedure intrinsic to cellular automata, coupled difference equations, and the discrete-event system specification. This new approach is introduced via an intuitively appealing construction of a new simulation procedure for activity scanning models, and this introduction is followed by an embedding of the new approach into the discrete-event system specification. In doing so, we illustrate a practical approach to distributed simulation and demonstrate how the proposed approach can be applied to the event scheduling and process-oriented worldviews.
