Abstract

Simulation has become the evaluation method of choice for many areas of distributing computing research. However, most existing simulation packages have several limitations on the size and complexity of the system being modeled. Fine grained simulation of complex systems such as Grids requires high computational effort which can only be obtained by using an underlying distributed architecture. We are proposing a new distributed simulation system that has the advantage of being able to model very complex distributed systems while hiding the computational effort from the end-user.
