HPCN Challenges in Telecomp and Telecomunications : Parallel Simulation of Complex Systems and Large-Scale Applications: Proceedings of the EUROSIM International Conference, 10-12 June 1996, Delft, The Netherlands

Hardbound. In the coming years, there will be many changes in the fields of parallel modelling and simulation. High Performance Computing and Networking (HPCN) has now come to the fore. There will be a huge expansion of application areas where it will become important, if not a must, to solve complex problems even faster but still in a cost-effective way.The title of this book reflects the rapid progress that is currently occurring in the field of HPCN with respect to processing power/relatively cheap, high speed networking over long distances.HPCN is now moving into many different areas of application and this is shown by the diversity of topics within this volume - including topics of immense significance for society.The quality of the articles is high due to a strict refereeing process. The reader is given a valuable opportunity to learn about the latest thinking in this field.
