Research on design and implementation of a Web-Based Simulation Meta-Synthesis System

What we are proposing in this paper is the concept, architecture and application of a Web-based simulation meta-synthesis (WebSMS). The motivation of the WebSMS system is to provide services for distributed and secure sharing and reuse of resource, distributed collaboration, and distributed execution and observation of simulation. In this paper, our initial work designing and developing a web-based simulation meta-synthesis system is described. An overlay architecture which combines shared resource, simulation and specialist synthesis is provided. At last, conclusions with our experiences and some raised issues are given. We argue that although some of the used techniques maybe still are a bit immature and need further improvements, a system; like this has a lot of potential and can also be used in other domains than modeling and simulation.
