![]() – The purpose of this paper is to review recent developments in micro‐scale assembly technologies, primarily in the context of microsystems based on three‐dimensional (3D) micro‐electromechanical systems (MEMS) and micro‐opto‐electromechanical systems (MOEMS) technologies. Deadlock management is suggested as the method of choice given current trends in hardware capabilities. Within the framework, any approach to maintaining causality could be used. A framework approach and layered architecture is suggested to prevent re-work once an implementation is developed. Previous methods of maintaining causal relationships in DDES are researched to find the strengths and weaknesses of each in an attempt to take the best strengths without the weaknesses. As such, only DDES is considered solving deadlock in a manner that would also benefit other systems such as general-purpose Internet computing or database management systems would only add complexity to the solution. The main idea is to take the simplest possible approach, but also to ensure that the solution is robust. The new protocol is named the Deadlock Management Protocol (DMP) and is developed under the approach of minimizing system lifetime cost primarily through software engineering principles. DDES may be one of the keys to simulating complex living organisms, among many other interesting simulation goals. A protocol for managing deadlock in Distributed Discrete Event Simulation (DDES, which is also known by the name Parallel Discrete Event Simulation, or PDES) is described.
