In this work, we raise three critical questions that must be investigated to ameliorate composability of virtual simulation models and to enable adoption of systematic and stringent real-time techniques to enable more scalable simulation models for virtual and constructive simulation. The real-time techniques in question enable us to separate between policies and mechanisms and, thus, the simulation engine can decide dynamically how to run the simulation given the existing resources (e.g., processor) and the goals of the simulation (e.g., sufficient fidelity in terms of timing and accuracy). The three critical questions are: (i) how to design efficient and effective algorithms for making dynamic simulation model design decisions during simulation; (ii) how to map simulation entities (e.g., agents) into (real-time) tasks; and (iii) how to enable a divide and conquer approach to validating simulation models.
