An experimental distributed modeling system
Gary J Nutt · ACM Transactions on Information Systems · 1983
Computer systems will increasingly rely on distributed components in order to increase performance while providing autonomous computing facilities.This evolution implies that a corresponding advance must take place in the state of the art of system analysis and evaluation.This paper describes an experimental modeling system developed to study distributed office information systems.The modeling system is unusual in that the simulation component is itself a distributed program.Support facilities and the organization of the simulator are presented.
