Abstract

The pper deals with the specification of a pipelined event driven algorithm for discrete simulation using the Functional Parallel Programming Language FP2. We start with a short review of the pipelined event driven simulation algorithm and the main features of FP2. In the main part, the FP2 specification procedure and a proof methodology for liveness and correct termination of the specified network of processes are described.
