ARTĂŚS: a parallel and distributed simulation middleware for performance evaluation
This paper illustrates the motivation, the preliminary design and implementation issues, of a new distributed simulation middleware named Advanced RTI System (ARTĂŚS). The aim of the ARTĂŚS middleware is to support parallel and distributed simulations of complex systems characterized by heterogeneous and distributed model components. The ARTĂŚS design is oriented to support the model components heterogeneity, distribution and reuse, and to increase the simulation performances, scalability and speedup, in parallel and distributed simulation scenarios. Another design issue of the ARTĂŚS framework is the dynamic adaptation of the interprocess communication layer to the heterogeneous communication support of different simulation scenarios. In this paper we illustrate the guidelines and architecture that we considered in the design and implementation of the ARTĂŚS middleware, and we sketch some case studies that demonstrated the ARTĂŚS utility and motivation, e.g., a distributed simulation of massively populated wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
