DEVS/SOA: A Cross-Platform Framework for Net-centric Modeling and Simulation in DEVS Unified Process

Web-based simulation requires the convergence of simulation methodology and WWW technology (mainly Web Service technology). The fundamental concept of web services is to integrate software application as services. Web services allow the applications to communicate with other applications using open standards. We are offering DEVS-based simulators as a web service, and they must have these standard technologies: communication protocol (Simple Object Access Protocol, SOAP), service description (Web Service Description Language, WSDL), and service discovery (Universal Description Discovery and Integration, UDDI).
