We present the development of an integratedextendable web-based simulation environment calledComputational Science and Engineering On-line (CSEO)that allows computational scientists to perform researchusing state-of-the-art tools, querying data from personalor public databases, discuss results with colleagues, andaccess resources beyond those available locally from aweb browser. It is a user-driven web-based applicationtool. Currently, CSEO provides an integratedenvironment for multi-scale modeling of complex reactingsystems. A unique feature of CSEO is in its frameworkthat allows data to flow from one application to anotherin a transparent manner. A particular example isdemonstrated to show how results from fundamentalquantum chemistry simulations are used to calculatethermodynamic and kinetic properties of a chemicalreaction, which subsequently are used in the simulation ofa combustion reactor. Advantages, disadvantages, andfuture prospects of a web-based simulation approach arethen discussed. CSEO can be accessed at http://cseo.net.
