With the vast development of internet technologies webbased simulators have come to an extent where flexibleloosely coupled components communicate in adistributed way. We are introducing a softwarearchitecture where the simulation environment is notlimited to browser or applet specific restrictions butusing the web as a transport layer. Furthermore thisarchitecture permits us to separate the location of thedata collection, the computational part and thevisualisation modules. For a more transparentcommunication between distributed simulators ageneric higher level semantics is able to passinformation and data on top of a lower-level networkingprotocol. The idea is to design a system where modulescan be deployed and interchanged without redesigningthe whole simulator.
