Does anyone know of useful, citable literature on the theory/concepts
of scheduling concurrent events in simulation models?
Much of Swarm's guts is about specifying the order in which actions
are executed, when the underlying assumption of time-step models is
that all the actions occur concurrently each step. What are different
ways to schedule concurrent events and what are their consequences? I
want to know where I can send people to get smart on such problems.
I realize there are shelves-full of books on simulation, but the
handful I have looked at do not seem to be helpful on this topic.
(Some of them do not include the word "schedule" in their index.)
Thanks,
Steve
