+\li <b>SimGrid: a Generic Framework for Large-Scale Distributed
+ Experimentations</b>\n
+ by <em>Henri Casanova, Arnaud Legrand and Martin Quinson</em>\n
+ Proceedings of the 10th IEEE International Conference on Computer
+ Modelling and Simulation (UKSIM/EUROSIM'08)\n
+ Distributed computing is a very broad and active research area
+ comprising fields such as cluster computing, computational
+ grids, desktop grids and peer-to-peer (P2P) systems.
+ Unfortunately, it is often impossible to obtain theoretical or
+ analytical results to compare the performance of algorithms
+ targeting such systems. One possibility is to conduct large
+ numbers of back-to-back experiments on real platforms. While
+ this is possible on tightly-coupled platforms, it is infeasible
+ on modern distributed platforms as experiments are labor-intensive
+ and results typically not reproducible. Consequently, one must
+ resort to simulations, which enable reproducible results and also
+ make it possible to explore wide ranges of platform and
+ application scenarios.\n
+ In this paper we describe the SimGrid framework, a
+ simulation-based framework for evaluating cluster, grid and P2P
+ algorithms and heuristics. This paper focuses on SimGrid v3, which
+ greatly improves on previous versions thanks to a novel and
+ validated modular simulation engine that achieves higher
+ simulation speed without hindering simulation accuracy. Also, two
+ new user interfaces were added to broaden the targeted research
+ community. After surveying existing tools and methodologies we
+ describe the key features and benefits of SimGrid.\n
