Abstract

The design of a Java testbed system, known as FATWa, for the Time Warp synchronisation scheme is described. The particular issue of implementating and experimenting with Time Warp refinement algorithms is addressed. The approach taken by the FATWa system is discussed. Positive and negative experiences in implementing the system are related. We conclude that Java is helpful in such aspects as supporting a modular design and dynamic repartitioning, while problematic in the aspect of thread management. Also some issues for further research are outlined.

Keywords: discrete event simulation; Java; distributed simulation; Time Warp.
