✦ Synopsis

Over the past decade, techniques for parallel and distributed discrete-event simulation have been developed largely within the academic research community. The advent of cluster computing and desktop multiprocessors has now made it feasible to bring these results to bear on the simulation of large, complex engineering systems and on physical systems in a cost-effective manner. Our challenge now is to apply these techniques to real-world problems, i.e., to bring this area out of the laboratory. This special issue of JPDC is devoted to a collection of articles which are representative of the areas to which parallel and distributed simulation are now being applied. We feel that these articles represent a major change in the way in which discrete-event simulation will be done in the future. Taken together, they give us an indication of the benefits which will accrue from our increased ability to simulate problems which it is not possible to approach on conventional uniprocessors.

A useful discrete-event simulation environment should support component-level reuse, integration of graphical tools, and scalable performance. The JTED framework (http://www.cooperate.com/JTED) demonstrates that Java can serve as the basis for constructing very large models that achieve these goals.
