Our focus is on the novel use of aproeess-oriented methodology in distributed-memory simulation systems. To the best of our knowledge, the few existing systems which adopt a process-view strictly use message-passing to effect process-interaction in distributed-memory settings. As a result, these systems avoid scenarios in which processes access passive but shared components. This can restrict the manner in which a system is modelled and hinder the phase of distributed model construction. In this paper, we propose an approach which utilizes mobile processes in distributed-memory simulation systems. Mobile processes can move around the system at will, with easy access toremote system components. The approach basically entails the migration of arequesting process with its timestamp to the remote site hosting the requested passive object. Major advantages of this approach include one-time transmission, fixed communication topology, and increased locality of reference. Early results based on lightweight processes show that the mobile process paradigm can be as efficient as the message-passing paradigm.
