ABSTRACT
Discrete event simulation of computer programs, particularly operating system programs, has until recently been an elusive objective of computer performance simulation. However, out of my own experience and my observations of the efforts of others, I have come to believe that the most direct approach to achieving such a simulation capability is essentially linguistic.
I consider these subjects to be basic to any appreciation of the necessary aspects of a linguistic capability, and with these concepts in hand, I then turn to discussion of an explicit language orientation. This is broken down into two major categories, the first for representing the logic of a program and the second for representing the loads that this logic imposes on the system.

Predictability of fuzzy discrete event systems
This paper studies the problem of predictability in fuzzy discrete event systems (FDESs). FDESs combine fuzzy set theory with discrete events systems (DESs). They are proposed in Lin and Ying (2001) to cope with vagueness, impreciseness, and ...
HLA Support in a Discrete Event Simulation Language
DIS-RT '99: Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Distributed Interactive Simulation and Real-Time ApplicationsThere has been a growing interest in the HLA proposal as a common framework for real-time, distributed and interactive simulations. Although most of HLA compliant federates are for the moment developed with general purpose languages, the development of ...
