Modeling and Simulation Framework for Development of Interactive Virtual Environments

Abstract

The article presents a framework for interactive virtual environments’ development for simulation and modeling of complex systems. The framework uses system's structural model as a core concept forcomposition and control of simulation-based scientific experiments not in terms of technological processes or workflows but in terms of domain-specific objects and their interconnection within the investigated system. The proposed framework enables integration and management of resources available within a cloud computing environment in order to support automatic simulation management and to provide the user with an interactive visual domain-specific interface to the system.
