21st International Workshop on Principles of Advanced and Distributed Simulation (Pads 2007)

Computer simulation is being acknowledged as the third leg of scientific discovery and analysis, along with theory and experimentation. PADS 2007 explores traditional areas such as defense and industry, as well as emerging needs in areas such as emergency planning and homeland security are raising new challenges in fast, interoperable computer simulations. In addition to the traditional focus on parallel and distributed simulation methods and applications, the proceedings covers all aspects of simulation technology, including the construction of simulation engines using advanced computer science technology; techniques for constructing scalable simulations, advanced modeling techniques, simulation visualization techniques, algorithms and methods for parallel or distributed simulation, distributed interactive simulation and distributed virtual environments, and mechanisms for efficient design of experiments.Contents: Federated Applications; Asynchronous Methods; Data Distribution and HLA; Social Science Simulations; Network Simulation; Optimistic Parallel Simulation; Computer System Simulations; Load Balancing21st International Workshop on Principles of Advanced and Distributed Simulation (Pads 2007), was published 2007 under ISBN 9780769528984 and ISBN 0769528988.
