[Swarm-Modelling] Literature on modeling concurrency

[Steve Railsback]

Does anyone know of useful, citable literature on the theory/concepts of 
 scheduling concurrent events in simulation models?

Much of Swarm's guts is about specifying the order in which actions are 
executed, when the underlying assumption of time-step models is that all 
the actions occur concurrently each step. What are different ways to 
schedule concurrent events and what are their consequences? I want to 
know where I can send people to get smart on such problems.

I realize there are shelves-full of books on simulation, but the handful 
I have looked at do not seem to be helpful on this topic. (Some of them 
do not include the word "schedule" in their index.)

Thanks,

Steve
