Towards A Web Based Simulation Environment

Existing Simulation and Animation (S&A) software tools are typically platform dependent and do not particularly lend themselves to cooperative work within either the Internet or an Intranet. This paper describes: 0 Basic approaches toward achieving Web compliance for S&A software; and Specific components for potential use in an open, platform independent simulation environment for the Internet or for corporate Intranets. Requirements for a Web Based Simulation Environment (WRSE) are also discussed. 0
