A Workflow Architecture for Cloud-based Distributed Simulation

Distributed Simulation has still to be adopted significantly by the wider simulation community. Reasons for this might that distributed applications are difficult develop and access multiple computing resources required. Cloud offers low-cost on-demand resources. Developing can use cloud also complex, particularly those run on different clouds. Cloud-based (CBDS) is potentially attractive, as it may solve issue well other benefits, such convenient network access. However, possibly shown lack of sustainable approaches in literature, combination far too complex a general approach. E-Infrastructures have emerged large-scale systems support high-performance various scientific fields. Workflow Management Systems (WMS) been created simplify these e-Infrastructures. There many examples where both technologies extended computing. This article therefore presents our investigation into potential using CBDS above context WORkflow architecture cLoud-based (WORLDS), contribution CBDS.
