Abstract

The paper presents the design of a cloud simulation platform and the associated services and the computing resources for hybrid simulation of Virtual Manufacturing Systems. At the core of the research is the design of a framework defined as Virtual Development Environment (VDE). Associated to VDE is a set of block functions and algorithms defined as software assets, stored in a large repository implemented within an on-line cloud supported library. The platform offers flexibility concerning the continuous testing and updates regarding the algorithms in order to improve the existing ones.
