Dynamic Simulation Control with Queue Visualization

摘要

This paper describes a DEVS-based network modeling and simulation environment with dynamic simulation control and queue visualization. The development of a simulation framework supporting runtime simulation tuning is facilitated by the DEVS modeling and simulation framework with its separation of model, experimental frame and simulator. The rapid feedback cycle supported by "real-time" intervention allows experimentation with parameters and structures and results in effective network configuration that is difficult to achieve when turnaround requires hours or days. An example of a distributed simulation application running on a wide area network is given to illustrate the new capabilities.
