Large-Scale Simulation

This work gives you firsthand insight on the latest advances in large-scale simulation techniques. Most of the research results are drawn from the authors’ papers in top-tier, peer-reviewed, scientific conference proceedings and journals. Along with presenting the fundamentals, the book covers middleware and software architecture for large-scale simulations as well as mechanisms that support quick evaluation of alternative scenarios. It also describes how distributed computing technologies and many-core architecture are used to study social phenomena.
