Parallel Discrete Event Simulation Techniques for Scientific Simulations Approved by:

ACKNOWLEDGMENT I am greatly indebted to Dr. Richard Fujimoto for his guidance and support throughout my master’s study. It was under his mentoring that I developed a focus and became interested in parallel and distributed discrete event simulations. Special thanks go to Dr Kalyan Perumalla. As my co-advisor, he helped and encouraged me all along the way. I also thank Dr. Santosh Pande for his insightful comments and suggestions
