Dynamic component substitution in web-based simulation

Recent breakthroughs in communication and software engineering has resulted in significant growth of web-based computing. Web-based techniques have been employed for modeling, simulation, and analysis of systems. The models for simulation are usually developed using component based techniques. In a component based model, a system is represented as a set of interconnected components. A component is a well defined software module that is viewed as a "black box" i.e., only its interface is of concern and not its implementation. However, the behavior of a component, which is necessary for simulation, could be implemented by different modelers including third party manufacturers. Web-based simulation environments enable effective sharing and reuse of components thereby minimizing model development overheads. In component based simulations, one or more components can be substituted during simulation with a functionally equivalent set of components. Such Dynamic Component Substitut...
