The tutorial may be found there:
http://www.laas.fr/~alex/fujimoto.ppt

That link will give you overview ot time management too.
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.52.4110

Or you can try  a search on
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/

for example "HLA lookahead"
or "HLA Time Management"

will give you many valuable references
