Presents papers from an August 2000 workshop, organized in sections on simulation in real-time systems, DS-RT algorithms, and high level architecture. Specific topics include preliminary investigations into distributed computing applications on a Beowulf cluster, distributed simulation over loosely coupled domains, exploiting temporal uncertainty in time warp simulations, and a hybrid approach to data distribution management. Other subjects include distributed simulation beyond the military, a generic rollback manager for optimistic HLA simulations, design of high performance RTI software, and HLA-based simulation within an interactive engineering environment.
