a .NET Remoting-Based Distributed Simulation Approach for DEVS and Cell-DEVS Models

We present a DEVS and Cell-DEVS simulation system based on Microsoftpsilas .NET Remoting, an execution framework for Windows programs. Remoting is the process of programs interacting across different processes or machines. The numerous remoting services in .NET provide the ability to invoke objects that exist anywhere on the network. We modified PCD++ (a parallel DEVS and Cell-DEVS simulation tool based on the Message Passing Interface - MPI) to make use of these services. The new tool, called PCD++/.NET integrates .NET Remoting into PCD++ to execute distributed DEVS and Cell-DEVS simulation. PCD++/.NET can be suitable for the model which has modest remote messages and presents tolerable performance.
