Simulations can often be substituted for expensive or difficult experiments involving real physical resources. Heterogeneous distributed simulation, a fairly recent phenomenon, is an example of simulation made possible by low cost, high performance processors and medium-to-high-bandwidth, (potentially long distance) communication networks. Heterogeneous distributed simulation brings together heterogeneous, physically distributed resources for simulation purposes, thus supporting experiments that could otherwise be expensive or difficult. Heterogeneous distributed simulation is sufficiently new that many issues regarding its use remain. These issues include fault tolerance, dynamic reconfiguration, real time requirements and optimal approaches to process synchronization and communication. We discuss these issues and others and propose some directions for research.
