FACTORIZATION OF SIMULATIONS
Barrett, C. L., Henning Mortveit, Christian M. Reidys · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 2001
A simulation is collection of agents that, according to some schedule, are making decisions based on information about other agents in that collection.In this paper we present a class of dynamical systems called Sequential Dynamical Systems (SDS) that was developed to capture these key features of computer simulations.Here, as an example of the use of SDS, we demonstrate how one can obtain information about a simulation by a factorization into smaller simulations.
