Abstract:
Since the beginning of computer simulation, experimental design has been an active research field for efficiently testing and analyzing the behavior of computer models, and it still remains a valuable technology in the decision-making context [Zeigler 1976] [Balci and Sargent 1981] [Kleijnen 1987] [Hill 1996] [Sarjoughian and Cellier, 2001].
In a way to conduce efficiently and rigorously simulation experiments, we propose a Platform Independent Model (PIM) and its prototype implementation, named SimExplorer. This software can be applied to handle both deterministic and random simulation. The case of stochastic distributed simulation is particularly targeted, which leads to discuss recent research results concerning the parallelization of pseudo-random number generators for stochastic simulation [Fujimoto 1990] [Traore and Hill 2003].
