The dynamical behavior of this kind of system is very complicated. When there is a disturbance caused by, for example, time delay, the reaction of the system may not remain in the local area. Instead, it can propagate to a wide region and affect many entities. This paper uses a model called Self-Organized Criticality to ex plain the dynamical behavior of a real-time dis tributed simulation system. A generic war game program is used to simulate the real-time inter actions among the entities on a battlefield. The dynamical behavior of the war game is recorded after a large number of runs with randomly gen erated initial conditions. The results show that the system demonstrates the characteristics of Self-Organized Criticality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/003754970007400102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,3,29]],"date-time":"2008-03-29T13:23:43Z","timestamp":1206797023000},"page":"11-17","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Study on the Dynamical Behavior of a Real-Time Distributed Simulation System"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"74","author":[{"given":"Kuo-Chi","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Simulation and Training University of Central Florida 3280 Progress Drive Orlando, Florida, USA, 32826"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shih-Wei","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical, Material and Aerospace Engineering University of Central Florida 3280 Progress Drive Orlando, Florida, USA, 32826"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Kejun Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical, Material and Aerospace Engineering University of Central Florida 3280 Progress Drive Orlando, Florida, USA, 32826"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"DoD Modeling and Simulation Master Plan","author":"Department of Defense.","year":"1995"},{"key":"atypb2","author":"Defense Modeling and Simulation Office.","year":"1996","journal-title":"HLA Briefing"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.59.381"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bak, P. and Chen, K. \"Self-Organized Criticality.\" Scientific American , pp 46-53, Jan. 1991.","DOI":"10.1038\/scientificamerican0191-46"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.69.2431"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.65.1120"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.62.40"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.255.5051.1523"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/RevModPhys.64.321"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/379049a0"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4757-5426-1"},{"key":"atypb12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0378-4371(93)90006-P"},{"key":"atypb13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevE.51.2909"},{"key":"atypb14","unstructured":"Nagel, K., Rasmussen, S., Barrett, C.L. \"Network Traffic as a Self-Organized Critical Phenomena.\" In Self-organization of Complex Structures: From Individual to Collective Dynamics , F.
