Description
Book SynopsisThe rapid expansion of the Internet has made parallel and distributed stimulation (PADS) a hot technology indeed. It is now used not only to analyze the behavior of such systems as air traffic control or future communication networks, but also in computer generated "virtual worlds" such as flight simulation training devices and computer wargames.
Trade Review"This book is indeed a state-of-the-art guide for the implementation of distributed simulation technology" (Simulation News Europe, December 2000)
