An Approach for Designing and Enacting Distributed Simulation Environments

摘要

Simulation provides a flexible and cost-effective way to assess system design, configuration and control strategies in many domains. Currently, the impact of simulation is less than what one could expect because of (1) the difficulties that arise in integrating different simulators and (2) the lack of an integrated design environment that could allow one to design simulations while designing a system. This paper addresses the second problem by presenting the work done in the ESPRIT ASIA project.
