Abstract

The Sloop Inria-IIIS/CNRS-University of Nice-Sophia-Antipolis project works on three main domains :

1. parallel and distributed discrete event simulation,
2. parallel object-oriented languages,
3. interconnection networks.

Current developments include :

• PROSIT, a sequential and distributed object-oriented workbench for discrete event simulation
• STAT-TOOL, a distributed package for the statistical analysis of the results of simulations
• C++//, a parallel extension to C++
• EIFFEL//, a parallel extension to Eiffel
• enhancements and optimisations of communications in portable environments for distributed computing (PVM, MPI)
• new simulation methods based on evolution equations.
