This paper describes a general discrete-simulation model that will be used to evaluate the suitability of various localized distributed processing computer architectures for real-time control applications. The concept of distributed systems is first discussed and the particular area of interest, i.e., Local Computer Networks, is described. The model design concepts are then presented and the simulation model itself is defined. The simulation was programmed using the FORTRAN-based GASP IV simulation language.
