To assess the preliminary implementation of our simulator, we provide a simplified modelling of the Bitcoin protocol and we study the effect of a security attack on the consensus … text/html 2025-07-22T08:26:26+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://pads.cs.unibo.it/doku.php?id=dsrt2025&rev=1753172786&do=diff Performance evaluation of a self-clustering heuristic for adaptive PADS Authors * Gabriele D'Angelo * Stefano Ferretti * Moreno Marzolla Abstract Parallel And Distributed Simulation (PADS) is a well known modeling paradigm that allows efficient implementation of large simulation models as a collection of interacting entities, called Simulated Entities (SEs). SEs can then be assigned to independent execution units for parallel execution, if possible.

The absence of a structure in unstructured overlays eases the network management, at the cost of non-optimal mechanisms to spread messages in the network. Thus, dissemination schemes must be employed that allow covering a large portion of the network with a high probability (e… text/html 2023-09-02T12:49:42+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://pads.cs.unibo.it/doku.php?id=jpdc2021-paper&rev=1693658982&do=diff Adaptive Parallel and Distributed Simulation of Complex Networks Authors * Gabriele D'Angelo * Stefano Ferretti Abstract We present a study on the intricate problem of the simulation of large scale complex networks. The complexity of the simulation is due to the need to represent networks with a high number of nodes and links, but even more to the need to model interactions among network nodes.

Within these application domains, the study of human mobility and behavior is particularly relevant.

H. Tan Abstract In this paper we focus on Internet-based simulation, a form of distributed simulation in which a set of execution units that are physically located around the globe work together to run a simulation model. This setup is very challenging because of the latency/variability of communications. Thus, clever mechanisms must be adopted in the distr…
