A Simulation Platform

for Experimentation and Evaluation of

Distributed Computing-Systems
The Speed-CS Project at the University of Arizona is creating a workbench that will facilitate rapid composition, evaluation, modification and validation of applications of distributed computing technology.  Advances in procesor technology have made it possible to bestow computational  and communications power to devices ranging from simple sensors power to devices ranging from simple sensors to more complex control and decision systems.Despite the phenomenal growth in applications of distributed computing systems, it is safe tosuggest that we have only begun to scratch the surface. We expect aproliferation of systemsconsisting of heterogeneous, geographically distributed platforms that operate intelligently, communicate reliably and can be reconfigured easily. Unfortunately, current software support isoften limited to isolated models and simulations.  As a result, we are severely restricted in our ability to assess system performance and reliability.  The proposed SPEED-CS project is intended to address this growing need.
