ABSTRACT
Introduction Simulation is an attractive and well-consolidated methodology to study real-world phenomena. In particular, parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) is a paradigm that has been extensively used (because of its modular and simple way of specifying simulation models) and has been proven as very effective in a wide set of elds, including physics, biology, and
