The parallel and distributed simulation field has evolved and grown from its origins in the
1970s and 1980s and remains an active field of research to this day. A brief overview of …

Abstract Model transformation lies at the very core of model-driven engineering, and a large
number of model transformation languages and tools have been proposed over the last few …

This tutorial gives an introduction to parallel and distributed simulation systems. Issues
concerning the execution of discrete-event simulations on parallel and distributed computers …

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

Conceptual modeling is of great importance not only to Information Systems and Software
Engineering, but also to Simulation Engineering. It is concerned with identifying, analyzing …

Like a system model in Information Systems and Software Engineering (IS/SE), a system
model in simulation engineering mainly consists of an information model and a process …

In simulation engineering, a system model mainly consists of an information model
describing a system's state structure and a process model describing its dynamics. In the …

With the increasing complexity of simulation studies, and thus increasing complexity of
simulation experiments, there is a high demand for better support for them to be conducted …

Most of the well-known modeling and simulation (M&S) methodologies state the importance
of conceptual modeling in simulation studies, and they suggest the use of conceptual …

The model transformation has become a big defiance in the Model-Driven Architecture
(MDA) approach. For that, the Object Management Group (OMG) aims at defining a …
