	abstract = {Distributed discrete event simulation is an important approach for enabling the modeling and analysis of the behavior of large systems. This approach presents a major problem, namely, the possible low performance due to the excessive overhead in synchronizing the distributed logical processes. To counter this, our approach to distributed discrete event simulation involves conservative synchronization and its acceleration using dynamic estimation of process-to-process look-ahead with a feedback mechanism. This mechanism allows for the estimation of a larger look-ahead, which may be invalidated and recalculated during the course of the simulation, if one of the processes obtains more detailed knowledge. In this work, we extend the dynamically estimated look-ahead, on the basis of the local state of the logical processes, by exchanging conditional look-aheads, in conjunction with the broadcast of invalidation announcements. A notable reduction in runtime in various cases is thus achieved, especially when the estimated look-ahead is stochastically too conservative.},
