Abstract :
In this paper we introduce a new approach for parallel, distributed simulation of modular, hierarchical DEVS and DEVS-based combined discrete/continuous multiformalism models. The algorithm combines conservative and optimistic distributed simulation strategies and is able to optimally exploit lookahead capabilities of the model. The object oriented implementation in C++ is intended to serve as a powerful simulator in the STIMS modeling and simulation environment.<>
