A NOVEL MESSAGE-ORIENTED AND SOA BASED REAL-TIME MODELING AND SIMULATION

Recent advances in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides many exciting opportunities for developing next-generation of distributed simulation frameworks and tools. At the mean time, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based network technique al-so challenges the traditional view of distributed simulations. Indeed, the integration of SOA and P2P techniques can poten-tially help on developing more flexible, scalable distributed simulation framework. In this paper, we present our design and implementation of a real-time distributed simulation framework based on SOA concept and JXTA P2P technique. Our simu-lation framework can be effectively used for evaluating most of SOA related algorithms and schema including but not limited to: dynamic service composition, service path selection, load-balancing algorithms, and etc. Meanwhile our framework can also be applied to emergency preparedness class of applications to identify the critical parameters for designing more effi-cient emergency response systems.
