Abstract

This paper discusses the design of a distributed simulation system which will utilize off-the-shelf microprocessors in its implementation. Alternative approaches to the assignment of simulation functions and processes are presented. A project currently underway at Texas A & M University is described which considers the impact of distributed architectures on the design of simulation language support systems. The emphasis in this research project is to produce an operational prototype which can be used to establish the feasibility and utility of distributed simulation.
