By using the event synchronization scheme, we develop a new method for parallel simulation of many discrete event dynamic systems concurrently. Though a few concurrent simulation methods have been developed during the last several years, such as the well-known Standard Clock method, most of them are largely limited to Markovian systems. The main advantage of our method is its applicability to non-Markovian systems, For Markovian systems a comparison study on efficiency between our method and the Standard Clock method is done on Connection Machine CM-5. CM-5 is a parallel machine with both SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) and MIMD (Multiple Instruction, Multiple Data) architectures. The simulation results show that if event rates of Markovian systems do not differ by much then both methods are compatible but the Standard Clock method performs better in most cases. For Markovian systems with very different event rates, our method often yields better results. Most importantly, our simulation results also show that our method works as efficiently for non-Markovian systems as for Markovian systems.

Monte Carlo simulations of `order-order' relaxations in AB3 systems with L12 superstructure were carried out assuming vacancy mechanism of atomic jumps with constant atomic pair-interaction energy parameters and the saddle-point energies assigned to jumping atoms. The study was focused on relaxations following an increase of temperature. The simulated long-range order (LRO) relaxation curves fitted weighted sums of two exponentials strongly differing in relaxation times, the longer ones of which obeyed the Arrhenius law. The contribution (weight) of the fast process was gradually reduced when the activation barrier energy for B-atom jumps was increased in relation to that for A-atoms. It was found out that the initial stages of LRO relaxations were dominated by A-atom jumps between different sublattices. In conclusion, it is proposed that the fast component of the disordering relaxations in L12 superstructure is due to highly correlated pairs of A-atom and B-atom jumps, which occur provided the majority B-atoms are sufficiently mobile.

This paper presents an effective technique for compacting a large sequence of input vectors into a much smaller one such that when the two sequences are applied to any circuit, the resulting power dissipations are nearly the same. Specifically, this paper introduces the hierarchical modeling of Markov chains as a flexible framework for capturing not only complex spatiotemporal correlations, but also dynamic changes in the characteristics of the input sequence, The new framework has a high degree of adaptability, i.e. the hierarchical model is dynamically grown according to the sequence behavior, Experimental results demonstrate that large compaction ratios can be obtained without a significant loss in accuracy (less than 5% on average) of power estimates.

In a distributed real-time database system, if data conflicts occur between executing and committing transactions the performance can be severely affected. In this paper, we propose an approach, called deadline driven conflict resolution (DDCR), which integrates concurrency control and commitment management in resolving data conflicts between executing and committing transactions, while at the same time maintaining the schedules to be serializable. With DDCR, many of the data conflicts can be alleviated, and concurrent execution of transactions is allowed to access data items being held by committing transactions. The impact of temporary failures occurred during the commitment of a transaction an other transactions is reduced by reversing the dependencies between the transactions. simulation experiments have been performed and the results show that DDCR can significantly improve the system performance especially when the duration for the voting phase is long.

Workpiece localization, with novel applications such as workpiece setup, refixturing and dimensional inspections, is a problem of permanent importance in manufacturing. Using the popular least square formulation, several geometric algorithms have been developed for workpiece localization over the last few years. In this paper, we analyze and compare the performance of three localization algorithms based on the following criteria: (a) robustness with respect to variations in initial conditions;(b) accuracy of computed results;and (c) computational efficiency. We develop an approach for improving the robustness of the algorithms for workpieces with sculptured surfaces for which region of convergence is typically small. Based on simulation results, we also discuss sensitivity of the algorithms with respect to the number of measurement points and give a lower bound on this number for recovering a Euclidean transformation with certain accuracy.

High speed simulation of concurrent systems requires distributed processing if meaningful results are to be obtained for large systems in a reasonable timeframe. One of the most common methods used for such simulation is Parallel Discrete Event simulation (PDES). A range of PDES simulation kernels have been developed and much research has been devoted to optimistic execution strategies such as TimeWarp. Unfortunately in all this effort some fundamental aspects of object oriented modelling for simulation have received scant attention. In particular the ability of simulation kernels to act on truly generic simulation objects. In this context we define a truly generic object to be one which totally defines its responeses to external stimuli, but which has no concept of its place in the interconnected web of objects that comprise the total simulation environment. To address this problem, we propose a new modelling approach based on interacting objects, and an associated simulation kernel architecture. This paper describes the architecture and features of our simulation kernel in detail, and demonstrates, using a small example, the benefits of adopting such a modelling approach. The major specific benefits include true object genericity, enhanced scope for object re-use, and enhanced opportunities to use polymorphism.
For the past decade, numerous commercial and experimental systems have been designed for collaborative writing applications. From our experience working in the area of CSCW research and development, we have come to re...

The Spacecraft simulation Toolkit (SST) is an advanced software architecture for the modeling and simulation of spacecraft and spacecraft interactions based upon state-of-the-art techniques, the Khoros visual programming environment, and accurate physical phenomenology. The SST simulates spacecraft systems and subsystems;the user virtually ''builds'' a spacecraft by selecting and integrating components, duplicating real world actions. The models in the SST perform algorithmic simulation of spacecraft functions. System design and simulation databases provide both the knowledge base within which detailed characteristics of the system are described and an efficient means to store simulation results for additional analysis. Representation of the real-world, natural environment is provided, Khoros also provides integrated data analysis and software development tools. The SST is being configured to meet a broad range of requirements in design, technology development, systems acquisition, on-orbit operations, and spacecraft operator training.
