Abstract

The distributed time-triggered simulation (DTS) scheme is a new type of approach to real-time simulation based on parallel/distributed computing. It requires a global time base which provides consistent real-time information to application software running on distributed nodes. The exploitation of its full potential requires advanced computing platforms such as highly parallel computing platforms. Recent developments in the scientific foundation for DTS and the execution engines and programming tools supporting DTS are briefly reviewed.
