Abstract

Research and development efforts in the parallel and distributed simulation field over the last 15 years has progressed, largely independently, in two separate camps: the largely academic high performance parallel and distributed (discrete event) simulation (PADS) community, and the DoD-centered distributed interactive simulation (DIS) community. This tutorial gives an overview and comparison of work in these two areas, emphasizing issues related to distributed execution where these fields have the most overlap. Differences in the fundamental assumptions routinely used within each community are contrasted, followed by overviews of work in each community.
