Middleware solutions for integrated simulation environments

This paper outlines the expected research contribution of my PhD work. RAISE is a research project aimed at building a framework and platform that supports the integration of multiple existing models, simulations, and data. One of the limitations of the simulators is that they are developed by domain experts who have an in-depth understanding of the phenomena being modelled and typically designed to be executed and evaluated independently. Therefore the grand challenge is to facilitate the process of pulling all of independently created models together into an interoperating system of systems model where decision makers can explore different alternatives and conduct low cost experiments in an interactive environment. The key research question is whether such integration of independently created, deep domain models can be made feasible, practical, flexible, cost-effective, attractive, and usable.
