About the Special Issue

 

The pursuit of high quality simulation experimentation and optimization can require non-trivial 

amounts of computing power.  Having access to an increased number of computers usually 

enables "further and faster experimentation" of the models.  Distributed computing concepts 

such as High Performance Computing (HPC), High Throughput Computing (HTC), grid and cloud 

computing can provide the required computing capacity for the execution of large and complex 

models.  Further there has been a long tradition of adopting advances in distributed computing 

in simulation as evidenced by contributions from the parallel and distributed simulation community.  

There has arguably been a recent acceleration of innovation in distributed computing tools and 

techniques.  This special issue presents the opportunity to showcase recent research that is 

assimilating these new advances in simulation.  This special issue therefore solicits high quality 

papers on both computational and theoretical studies that further the extant literature on the 

application of distributed computing to simulation. An indicative list of topics is given below:

 

·      Methodologies for creation of scalable simulation models.

·      Methodologies and algorithms associated with distributed execution of models

·      Theoretical issues, methodology and software architectures for large scale distributed simulations

·      Algorithms for parallel and distributed simulation, including time synchronization, optimistic and conservative protocols. 

·      Ubiquitous computing architectures for development and experimentation of simulation models.

·      Collaborative model development (e.g., shared workspace, shared manipulation of models).

·      Performance and validation of large scale models (e.g., benchmarking and analytical results, empirical studies).

·      Novel experimentation strategies suitable for distributed computing.

·      Case studies associated with the application of High Performance Computing, grid computing, cloud computing, etc.

·      Visualisation of models that use distributed data sets.
