Abstract

Recent years have seen great interest in the use of Java as a language for developing computer simulations and in the development of methods that utilise the inherently distributed and co-operative nature of the World Wide Web. This paper builds on both of these themes and discusses the development of three-phase simulation models in Java. The first stage of the work was to use Java simply as a language for model development, much as any other language might be used. The second phase was to use the remote method invocation (RMI) functions of Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.1 to develop client/server approaches to simulation modelling. Both of these stages are discussed, with an indication of the problems that were faced and overcome
