Model integration methods for hydro-model platform under cloud computing environments

Computing platforms providing cloud simulation services have raised new challenges on the model integration. Unlike calls to programs (components) in traditional software, here models should be dynamically integrated “plug and play” mode regardless of differences type developer. To this end two integration methods been proposed, i.e., coarse-grained EXE interactive In an method, program is directly called thus only a data conversion interface needed while rewriting source code not required. contrast, method wraps components using standard wrapper with communication interfaces, therefore, it can communicate exchange platform real time. The first suitable for legacy models, second one control progress schemes facilitate scheduling computing resources. Examples application presented hydraulics/hydrodynamics demonstrate effectiveness platform.
