Abstract

The effort to develop a simulation application can be in many circumstances drastically reduced by enabling the user to access a similar model already developed elsewhere, customize it at his site, and run the customized model by accessing a simulation tool available elsewhere. For example, a user residing at site A might wish to develop a large simulation model SM and run it by the simulation tool ST not available in A. By use of the Web, the user may find out that a similar model has already been developed at site B and that at site C there exists the simulation tool ST. The proposed Web-enabled simulation environment helps the user residing in A, to:

  1. find out which types of SMs or STs exist elsewhere on the Internet
  2. download the interesting SM from site B to site A
  3. customize SM into SM' at site A
  4. run SM' by accessing ST at site C.

The paper introduces a Java and CORBA-based architecture for the Web-enabled simulation environment, and presents a prototype environment for queueing network simulation models and QNAP2 simulation tools.
