Research and application on cloud simulation

This paper expounds comprehensively research results of our team on cloud simulation since authors have published the paper [1]. These results consist of the evolved technology connotation and features of cloud simulation, its expansion and development versus the cloud computing, the architecture of the cloud simulation system, 4 kinds of service patterns of cloud simulation, body of technological knowledge on cloud simulation, 9 key technologies broken through recently by our team, including unified management technology for simulation resources, individuation virtual desktop technology, multi-users oriented dynamic building technology of virtual simulation environment, automatic composition technology of simulation models, fault tolerance technology for resources in cloud simulation, multi-core cluster oriented hierarchical parallel simulation engine, high efficient and collaborative running supporting technologies, monitoring and evaluation technology for cloud simulation, and cloud simulation system security technology. In addition, a typical application demonstration system and the application prospect are given. The primary research and practice show that our research results can further strengthen the abilities of cloud simulation. Finally, the paper gives the prospect of the next work of cloud simulation.
