In this paper, we present an approach that simulates a set of performance models independently and in a distributed manner on a network of workstations. We propose to optimize the achievable quality of results for a given total amount of CPU time by minimizing the confidence intervals for performability measures. This is possible by an adaptive assignment of CPU time to simulate those models whose results have the largest impact on the width of confidence intervals. %@ 0-7695-2111-8
