Abstract

In this paper we propose a simulation-as-a-service approach to evaluate ITS applications. We segment a simulation process in two building blocks: a web-interface/server front-end used by users to configure the remote simulations of their ITS application, and a back-end consisting of a controller and a HCC platform to conduct the remote simulations. The controller is in charge of configuring the HCC platform as well as distributing and scheduling the simulations on it. HCC platforms usually provide users with only a restricted control on the simulation environment and a limited set of available libraries. To mitigate these drawbacks, we make use of the virtualization support of recent HCC platforms and employ Kernel-based Virtual Machines.
