Spring Simulation Multiconference 2008 (SpringSim'08)
Tutorials Track - Final Program (as of 3/8/08)
- Monday April 14, 3:30 - 5:00: The Network
Simulator NS3 (part 1: Introduction)
- George Riley, Georgia Tech
- George Riley, Georgia Tech
- Tuesday April 15, 8:30 - 10:00: An Introduction to DEVS and Distributed DEVS
- Ming Zhang, University of Ottawa
- This tutorial presents fundamental
DEVS concepts and applications of DEVS-based modeling and simulation in
industry and research. We will discuss how DEVS is well suited to modern
software infrastructures and how it compares to non-DEVS modeling and
simulation methodologies. In particular, this tutorial will focus on
distributed DEVS tools for solving large-scale modeling and simulation
problems.

Debugger
- Barry Kingsbury, TotalViewTechnologies

- Wednesday April 16, 8:30 - 10:00: Modeling and Simulation with the BRAHMS Agent Environment (part 1: Introduction)
- Wednesday April 16, 8:30 - 10:00: The Deterministic Global Optimization Algorithm
DIRECT
- Layne T. Watson, Virginia Polytechnic and State
University
- The deterministic direct search algorithm DIRECT of D. Jones has
proven surprisingly practical for engineering design, especially when
coupled with a local pattern search algorithm such as MADS by Audet and
Dennis. Massively parallel implementations of these algorithms,
necessary for realistic engineering and scientific problems, are highly
nontrivial. This tutorial will cover the serial DIRECT and MADS
algorithms, their parallel implementations, place them in the context of
global optimization, and describe recent applications in
multidisciplinary design optimization and systems biology.
