Extensible Simulation Of Planets And Comets, Natalie Anne Wiser-Orozco Jan 2008

Extensible Simulation Of Planets And Comets, Natalie Anne Wiser-Orozco

Theses Digitization Project

The aim of this research was to create an extensible simulator that will not only calculate the trajectories of planets and comets using a numerical method, but be able to graphically simulate them. The significance of this project is its ability to be a useful tool to computer scientists, astronomers, and physicists by determining how an arbitrary set of celestial bodies interact with one another. It allows definition of bodies that belong to a system, and creates a graphical simulation of them based on their specific properties. Ideas are then easily conveyed not only to colleagues, but to the public …


Design Factors For The Communication Architecture Of Distributed Discrete Event Simulation Systems, Catharine Mcintire Hoaglund Jan 2006

Design Factors For The Communication Architecture Of Distributed Discrete Event Simulation Systems, Catharine Mcintire Hoaglund

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of the thesis was to investigate the influence communication architecture decisions have on the performance of a simulation system with distributed components. In particular, the objective was to assess the relative importance of factors affecting reliability and variability of an external data interface to the performance of the simulation, as compared to factor within the simulation itself.
