Speeding Up the Evaluation of a Mathematical Model for VANETs Using OpenMP - Simulation and Modeling Methodologies, Technologies and Application - page 33

We are also facing similar tasks to improve the efficiency of the VANET simulation
environments we are using in order to validate our mathematical analyses.
