Abstract

A network approach to parallel discrete event simulation is described. A set of production rules is used 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. To handle rollbacks, a lazy cancellation approach is used
