Abstract

Web services have been used in Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for many years, but it is still hard to develop complex M&S applications by using heterogeneous data and varied services. Here we show how to simplify the M&S application development by using mashup technologies. We introduce a novel architecture, the Mashup Architecture with Modeling and Simulation as a Service (MAMSaaS), in order to deploy varied mashup components (e.g. Modeling and Simulation as a Service, existing Web APIs, widgets and operators) and to create M&S mashups for quick application development. We present various tools built to support the architecture and a case study using the mashup architecture.
