A UNIFIED FRAMEWORK FOR INTEREST MANAGEMENT AND DYNAMIC LOAD BALANCING IN DISTRIBUTED SIMULATION

The paper discusses the distributed simulation of systems w ith large shared state and addresses issues related to interest management and dynamic load balancing. It identifies the efficie nt partitioning and distribution of the shared state as a key pr oblem in such simulations and discusses a hierarchical multilevel interest management scheme which facilitates dynami c
