The oceans are a hostile environment, and gathering information on deep-sea life and the
seabed is incredibly difficult. Autonomous underwater vehicles are robot submarines that …

Because it takes time and trust to establish agreement, traditional consensus-based
architectural styles cannot safely accommodate resources that change faster than it takes to …

This paper is the first part of a two-part paper that documents a detailed survey of the
research carried out on consistency and latency in distributed interactive applications (DIAs) …

There has been rapid growth in the demand for mobile communications over the past few
years. This has led to intensive research and development efforts for complex PCS …

Recent advances in discrete event modeling of continuous systems have emphasized the
need for high performance simulation engines. This need is particularly acute when discrete …

This article describes a Time Warp simulation algorithm for discrete event models that are
described in terms of the Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS). The article shows …

We present a new approach to Parallel Discrete Event Simulation (PDES), where we enable
the execution of so-called cross-state events. During their processing, the state of multiple …

In this article we tackle transparent parallelization of Discrete Event Simulation (DES)
models to be run on top of multi-core machines according to speculative schemes. The …

Although users may want to employ shared variables when they program distributed
simulation applications, almost none of the currently existing distributed simulation systems …

Development and integration of subsystems on advanced robots such as unmanned
underwater vehicles, can benefit from the availability of a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) …
