With the prevalence of net-centric environments, Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs)
have emerged as a paradigm that greatly impacts the modeling and simulation (M&S) …

Complex systems have been studied by researchers from every discipline: biology,
chemistry, physics, sociology, mathematics and economics and more. Depending upon the …

In areas such as military, security, aerospace, and disaster management, the need for
performance optimization and interoperability among heterogeneous systems is …

Simulating wildfire spread and containment remains a challenging problem due to the
complexity of fire behavior. In this paper, the authors present an integrated simulation …

In computational biology there is an increasing need to combine micro and macro views of
the system of interest. Therefore, explicit means to describe micro and macro level and the …

Model continuity refers to the ability to transition as much as possible a model specification
through the stages of a development process. In this paper, the authors show how a …

The modeling and simulation (M&S) of complex systems often requires models described at
different levels of detail characterized by differences in abstraction hierarchies and/or time …

This paper proposes an agent infrastructure (Theatre) centered on Java for distributed
simulations over High-Level Architecture/RunTime Infrastructure (HLA/RTI). The architecture …

As complex adaptive systems (CAS) continue to grow in scale and complexity, and the need
for system adaptability increases, systems modelling has become an essential concern …

In modular, hierarchical modeling, couplings (connections) describe and constrain the
communication, and thus interaction, between model components. Defining couplings …
