Abstract

The genesis of a research effort to develop a Java-based process-oriented simulation framework is described. A key enabler to the framework is an efficient co-routine mechanism implemented within the context of a single Java thread. A design for such a co-routine mechanism is described and some initial results of an implementation within the IBM Jikes Reference Virtual Machine are given.
