Distributed Simulation

En savoir plus sur le livre

This unique text/reference offers a comprehensive review of distributed simulation (DS) through the lens of Model Driven Engineering (MDE), highlighting its impact on the simulation development lifecycle. It includes numerous practical case studies demonstrating the methodology's utility, many based on publicly available tools. Key topics include a thorough introduction to modeling and simulation concepts, MDE, and high-level architecture, alongside a roadmap for building DS systems from an MDE perspective. The text presents a technical framework for developing conceptual models and focuses on federate architectures, detailing a practical approach to designing simulation member federations. It discusses scenario management activities in DS and explores MDE-based implementation, integration, and testing processes. The book also reviews simulation evolution and modernization strategies, including architecture-driven modernization. Additionally, it examines potential synergies among agent-based systems, DS, and MDE methodologies, suggesting future research directions at their intersection. This resource is essential for researchers and practitioners in modeling, simulation, and software engineering interested in integrating MDE principles into complex DS systems.
