Abstract

A current notable effort in the DEVS community is to provide a worldwide platform for distributed modeling and simulation based on Web Services and related technologies. Such an infrastructure will allow the sharing and reuse of simulation models and experiments. This will permit attacking different aspects of interoperability at the right level of abstraction: the simulation-based interoperability at the level of the data transfer between components in a distributed simulation, the model-based interoperability to share models and experiments, and other dimensions, including syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic interoperability. An essential requirement is that a common, unique and complete representation must be adopted to store, retrieve, share and make interoperable simulation models. Such a representation must take into account all the aspects included in all possible use cases. This work deals with this issue and proposes an XML-based language that can serve as a basis for defining a standard for distributed simulation linking DEVS and non-DEVS simulations.
