Abstract

This paper describes a database approach to parallel discrete event simulation. It employs a set of production rules to describe the behavior of active objects in a simulation system so that production rules can be merged and evaluated collectively in a rule network. To maintain correctness and exploit all possible parallelism, each token is time-stamped and can be processed asynchronously. An object relational database is employed to allow simulators located at different sites of an Intranet to communicate with each other. A dynamic, object-relational query tool is provided for the user to interact with the simulation system
