Abstract
The disciplines of modeling and simulation are essentialto the study of complex systems. The Department ofSystems Engineering and Automation and ComputerArchitecture at the University of La Laguna has beendeveloping a Java simulation library for Discrete EventSystems (SIGHOS). SIGHOS is intended to be used aspart of tools that analyze the effects of proposedsolutions on real problems. Using this library, however,requires programming skills which limit itseffectiveness. In this paper we propose the introductionof a logic layer that separates the low-level simulationmechanisms of the modeling system. We achieve thisthrough the creation of a web service that can run thesimulation remotely via the Internet using SIGHOS. Wethen describe a service-oriented web application thatencompasses a modeling and simulation environmentthrough which a user can create models, process them(using the aforementioned web service), and observe theresults without any knowledge of programming.
