Currently available discrete event simulation tools exhibit important limitations, either being too specific, or providing only a partial API and possibly not enough scalability. In this paper we introduce our novel general purpose simulator, called DEUS, which aims at becoming one of the reference tools in the field of complex system simulation. Its essential Java API provides basic interfaces and classes for modelling nodes, events and processes characterizing the structure and dynamics of any complex system. High usability, configurability and memory efficiency are among the strengths of DEUS, as exemplified in this paper by means of the simulator of Chord peer-to-peer systems we implemented with minor coding effort.

Abstract
Currently available discrete event simulation tools exhibit important limitations, either being too specific, or providing only a partial API and possibly not enough scalability. In this paper we introduce our novel general purpose simulator, called DEUS, which aims at becoming one of the reference tools in the field of complex system simulation. Its essential Java API provides basic interfaces and classes for modelling nodes, events and processes characterizing the structure and dynamics of any complex system. High usability, configurability and memory efficiency are among the strengths of DEUS, as exemplified in this paper by means of the simulator of Chord peer-to-peer systems we implemented with minor coding effort.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
