Description
The computing models for the LHC experiments envisage a complex set of data servers connected over wide area, regional and local area networks, creating a distributed architecture computing systems. Systems of even similar complexity will not exist for several years to come, and a joint R&D project (MONARC) was started last year to develop the simulation tools and to perform feasibility studies of distributed architecture systems for LHC experiments analysis and computing. A simulation program, built using Java technology, which provides adequate tools for developing a flexible and powerful distributed process oriented simulation, is described.
