Java applications: issues in Java-based continuous time step physical modelling
Lisa A. Schaefer, Philip M. Wolfe · Winter Simulation Conference · 2000
This paper discusses the problems involved in developing a Java based simulation model of autonomous entities that can navigate themselves in 2-dimensional space. We develop some ideas for solving those problems. The ideas mentioned in this paper can be applied to simulations that have fuzzy logic for navigation, encapsulation for object-oriented simulation, many instances of objects, or statistically complex results. We cite reasons for distributing a simulation among several computers and propose several topics for future research.
