Overview

Distributed Simulation Fundamentals

Course Description

Distributed simulation first appeared in the 1960s with the development of a two-player interactive computer game. In the 1980s, the DARPA SIMNET program created the first virtual world for military training by networking combat simulators. Today, multiplayer online role-playing games are used not only by the military, but also by manufacturing, emergency management, education, and medical fields. This Distributed Simulation Fundamentals course will focus on the fundamentals of distributed simulation systems to give you a better understanding of computer architecture, networks, and distributed computing paradigms.
