Theorizing on the treatment of time in simulation gaming
Lainema T. Simulation and Gaming 41(2): 170-186, 2010. Type: Article
From a computer network scientist perspective, this is a very interesting paper, as it considers the use of time in business simulation. However, in this sense, its generic title can be a bit deceptive. In fact, Lainema nicely reviews ...

Epidemic protocols for pervasive computing systems: moving focus from architecture to protocol
Mogensen M. M-PAC 09 (Proceedings of the International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive Mobile and Embedded Computing, Urbana Champaign, IL, Nov 30, 2009) 1-4, 2009. Type: Proceedings
Mogensen suggests that the unstable nature of pervasive computing scenarios adds too much complexity to the architectural models that try to make the system work. This paper presents a proposal to shift the paradigm from architecture o...
