The use of software diversity has often been discussed in the research literature as an effective means to break up the software monoculture present on the Internet and to thus p...
This year’s installment of the PADS “community assessment” looks at previous assessments and considers some current directions in distributed simulation and their possible r...
Packet-level discrete-event network simulators use an event to model the movement of each packet in the network. This results in accurate models, but requires that many events are...

We have developed a set of performance prediction tools which help to estimate the achievable speedups from parallelizing a sequential simulation. The tools focus on two important...
Parallel discrete event simulation techniques have enabled the realization of large-scale models of communication networks containing millions of end hosts and routers. However, t...
Multi-resolution representation of simulated entities is considered essentialfor a growing portion of distributed simulations. Heretofore,modelers have representedentites at just ...
The RINSE simulator is being developed to support large-scale network security preparedness and training exercises, involving hundreds of players and a modeled network composed of...
