SOA-Based Simulation Framework: A Way to Simulation Composability

A novel simulation framework based on Service-Oriented Architecture(SOA) is proposed to meet the new requirements for simulation compos ability, this framework is open and is propitious to integration with other systems. A simulation platform is constructed using component-based software engineering to test the feasibility of SOA-based framework, the implementation of simulation service layer and simulation application layer of simulation platform are also expatiated in details. As a case study, a simulation context for warfare simulation is conducted and experiment results shows that this platform provides the capability of simulation compos ability and reuse ability in the level of binary code.
