“…Finally, existing literature also provides relevant examples of already available MSaaS platforms, such as CloudSME [27], Simulation Platform [28], and OCEAN [15]. Due to their architecture and rationale, CloudSME and the simulation platform are largely different from ArTIC-MS. CloudSME [27] is a multi-cloud platform for developing and executing commercial cloud-based simulations and its primary target audience includes commercial software vendors and consultant companies in the IT domain, as well as small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs).…”

“…Differently, OCEAN [15] is a MSaaS platform based on OpenStack and specifically designed and developed for supporting training and simulation-based exercises in the context of NATO-funded military research programs. Similar to the ArTIC-MS platform, OCEAN's architecture includes a cloud infrastructure, a service repository, and a portal that allows users to discover, select, compose, and deploy M&S components.…”

“…Specifically, the addressed case focuses on the investigation of approaches to promote the interoperability of M&S resources. In this respect, the proposed example deals with the integration of the ArTIC-MS prototype with the open cloud ecosystem application (OCEAN) [15], a MSaaS platform based on the open-source OpenStack cloud infrastructure [16].…”

“…A prototype MSaaS concrete implementation based on the TOSCA-compliant IaaS platform Alien4Cloud [31] and compliant with ArTIC-MS has been developed. Then, a heterogeneous MSaaS federation has been built by federating the ArTIC-MS prototype with OCEAN [15], a MSaaS platform based on the open-source OpenStack cloud infrastructure [16].…”

Modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques are effectively used in many application domains to support various operational tasks ranging from system analyses to innovative training activities. Any (M&S) effort might strongly benefit from the adoption of service orientation and cloud computing to ease the development and provision of M&S applications. Such an emerging paradigm is commonly referred to as M&S-as-a-Service (MSaaS). The need for orchestrating M&S services provided by different partners in a heterogeneous cloud infrastructure introduces new challenges. In this respect, the adoption of an effective architectural approach might significantly help the design and development of MSaaS infrastructure implementations that cooperate in a federated environment. In this context, this work introduces a MSaaS reference architecture (RA) that aims to investigate innovative approaches to ease the building of inter-cloud MSaaS applications. Moreover, this work presents ArTIC-MS, a conceptual architecture that refines the proposed RA for introducing the TOSCA (topology and orchestration specification for cloud applications) standard. ArTIC-MS’s main objective is to enable effective portability and interoperability among M&S services provided by different partners in heterogeneous federations of cloud-based MSaaS infrastructure. To show the validity of the proposed architectural approach, the results of concrete experimentation are provided.
