Web-based Modeling and Simulation

Web-based M&S is the one where the M&S application is accessed over a network by using the HTTP protocol for communication between the client computer and the M&S application running on a server computer.

Web-based Modeling and Simulation

 

Description

    • A Network-Centric M&S application is the one, the components of which run on different server computers and communicate over a network (e.g., Internet, virtual private network, wireless network) using the TCP/IP, HTTP, RMI or another protocol.

    • The server computers running the models or model components of a network-centric M&S application can be geographically dispersed or be part of a local area network.

    • A Web-based M&S application is a network-centric M&S application, which uses the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for the communication among its components over a network.

    • Users use client computers to access or interact with the M&S application running on server computer(s).

    • Client-Server Architecture and Service-Oriented Architecture are popular ones for building network-centric M&S applications.

    • Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) and Microsoft .NET Framework are two industry standard platforms for building network-centric M&S applications.

Intended Uses / Objectives

    • Enable geographically-dispersed users to use the M&S application over a network
