Requirements and design principles for multisimulation with multiresolution, multistage multimodels
The significance of simulation modeling at multiple levels, scales, and perspectives is well recognized. However, existing proposals for developing such models are often applicati...

Comparing two systems: Beyond common random numbers
Suppose one wishes to compare two closely related systems via stochastic simulation. Common random numbers (CRN) involves using the same streams of uniform random variates as inpu...

Validation of simulated real world TCP stacks
The TCP models in ns-2 have been validated and are widely used in network research. They are however not aimed at producing results consistent with a TCP implementation, they are ...

Analyzing air combat simulation results with dynamic Bayesian networks
In this paper, air combat simulation data is reconstructed into a dynamic Bayesian network. It gives a compact probabilistic model that describes the progress of air combat and al...

Estimating the probability of a rare event over a finite time horizon
We study an approximation for the zero-variance change of measure to estimate the probability of a rare event in a continuous-time Markov chain. The rare event occurs when the cha...

An exploration-based taxonomy for emergent behavior analysis in simulations
Emergent behaviors in simulations require explanation, so that valid behaviors can be separated from design or coding errors. We present a taxonomy, to be applied to emergent beha...
