• Check the basic papers, available at the lab:
• Misra '86 (paragraph 2 & 3)
• Ferscha '95 (2.1, 2.2 & 2.5)
• Lin '95 (p15-22)
• Ferscha 96b, rather difficult
• Nicol '98 (1 & 2)
• Brissinck about Hierarchy & aggregation (p 1-3)

We focus our research on:

• Conservative simulation algorithms (see paper Lookahead Accumulation in Conservative Parallel Discrete Event Simulation)
  
• Symmetric models (straight forward partitioning, see paper Exploiting Symmetrical Properties for Partitioning of Models in Parallel Discrete Event Simulation)
• Performance analysis (simulation time in events per second, speedup)
• Visualisation
• Domains of the yet implement models: network elements (switch, TCP/IP), traffic simulation, FPGA simulation
