“…Elsewhere [51] and [52] suggest that most current simulation interoperability standards are insufficient as they focus exclusively on information exchange to support the federation of solutions without providing the necessary introspection. HLA is a bit more flexible, as the information to be exchanged itself is not standardised (it only says how to structure the data), but the focus remains on information that can be exchanged with a system.…”

Nowadays, universities and companies have a huge need for simulation and modelling methodologies. In the particular case of traffic and transportation, making physical modifications to the real traffic networks could be highly expensive, dependent on political decisions and could be highly disruptive to the environment. However, while studying a specific domain or problem, analysing a problem through simulation may not be trivial and may need several simulation tools, hence raising interoperability issues. To overcome these problems, we propose an agent-directed transportation simulation platform, through the cloud, by means of services. We intend to use the IEEE standard HLA (High Level Architecture) for simulators interoperability and agents for controlling and coordination. Our motivations are to allow multiresolution analysis of complex domains, to allow experts to collaborate on the analysis of a common problem and to allow co-simulation and synergy of different application domains. This paper will start by presenting some preliminary background concepts to help better understand the scope of this work. After that, the results of a literature review is shown. Finally, the general architecture of a transportation simulation platform is proposed.

“…Nevertheless, already in 2006, it was mentioned the importance of agents on simulation by exploring the relationship of software agents to simulation and games (Yilmaz et al, 2006). Some authors (Tolk and Diallo, 2010) (Tolk et al, 2011) defend that most of the current simulation interoperability standards are inadequate as they just support the federation by focusing on information exchange without providing the necessary introspective. HLA provides more flexibility as it only standardises how to structure the data, not the exchanging of information.…”

Modelling & Simulation (M&S) is broadly used in real scenarios where making physical modifications could be highly expensive. With the so-called Simulation Software-as-a-Service (SimSaaS), researchers could take advantage of the huge amount of resource that cloud computing provides. Even so, studying and analysing a problem through simulation may need several simulation tools, hence raising interoperability issues. Having this in mind, IEEE developed a standard for interoperability among simulators named High Level Architecture (HLA). Moreover, the multi-agent system approach has become recognised as a convenient approach for modelling and simulating complex systems. Despite all the recent works and acceptance of these technologies, there is still a great lack of work regarding synergies among them. This paper shows by means of a literature review this lack of work or, in other words, the sparse Cloud SimSaaS. The literature review and the resulting taxonomy are the main contributions of this paper, as they provide a research agenda illustrating future research opportunities and trends.

“…Conceptual modeling of complex systems is extremely important for multiple subsystems and domains are involved in model development life cycle, and there are numerous efforts which focus on formalize conceptual models. A typical example is model theory (Tolk, Diallo, and Padilla 2011) which provides a mathematical foundation for conceptual models, and another example is diagramming techniques for building formal conceptual models (Heath, Ciarallo, and Hill 2012).…”

Complex systems contain hierarchical heterogeneous subsystems and diverse domain behavior patterns, which bring a grand challenge for simulation modeling. To cope with this challenge, the M&S community extends their existing modeling paradigms to promote reusability, interoperability and composability of simulation models and systems; however, these efforts are relatively isolated and limited to their own technical space. In this paper, we propose a domain specific modeling (DSM)-based multi-paradigm modeling approach which utilizes model driven engineering techniques to integrate current M&S paradigms and promote formal and automated model development. This approach constructs a simulation model framework to architect the structure of the overall simulation system and combines multiple M&S formalisms to describe the diverse domain behaviors; moreover, it provides domain specific language and environment support for conceptual modeling based on the model framework and formalisms. An application example on combat system effectiveness simulation illustrates the applicability of the approach.
