時間テーブルの異なる事象を包含する複雑系シミュレーションの時間管理方式

Abstract

To simulate the real world, we consider the logics of evaluating many types of factors in the world. In the event-driven simulation, we divide the logics of various factors into the events. Each event has its own time-unit; second, minute, hour, and so on. If many types of events are simulated simultaneously, the proceeding of these events is generally controlled independently. Hence, it is hard to manage these events inclusively because of the difference of time-units. In this paper, we propose a new methodology to manage all of the events, and describe a new technique of implementing an object-oriented time-management. This method is effective in large-scale battle simulations, supported by Japan Ground Self Defense Force. The method would be also useful to design other complex simulations.
