Distributed Simulation

About Distributed Simulation

Our research into the use and applications of Distributed Simulation encompasses the use of computing units connected together to carry out simulation-related tasks across arrays of distributed networked systems, the combined computational resources are used to model complex physical behaviours and generate predictions about the real-world.
