Abstract

To meet the requirement of collaboration in the system-level modeling of multi-domain physical systems; a web-based general modeling and simulation environment; WebMWorks; is designed and implemented. It supports multi-user; multi-task and model sharing. Based on MWorks platform; the environment adopts SOA-based architecture and effectively solves the problems of sharing of simulation resources and reuse of the models. By application of RIA technologies; an interactive modeling and simulation environment based on the browser is constructed. This paper introduces the main characteristics and architecture of WebMWorks; and presents the operational effect of the system.
