Book Description

Proceedings of an April 2001 symposium, addressing traditional discrete-event and continuous simulation topics, as well as topics in areas of distributed systems, network modeling, and advances in simulation methodology and practices. Material is in sections on simulation based performance analysis, network modeling and simulation, VLSI circuit simulators, simulation languages and environments, Web-based modeling and simulation, parallel and distributed simulation, and advances in simulation methodology and practices. Some subjects are queue structures for shared-memory multiprocessor systems, building a Web-based federated simulation system with Jini and XML, modeling and simulation of active networks, performance optimization of throttled time-warp simulation, and fault identification networks by passive testing. Lacks a subject index. c. Book News Inc.
