| Impact of the Semantic Web on Modeling and Simulation (2008) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| 1 Introduction During the middle 1990s, the World-Wide Web began to substantially impact the use of computer technology. This sparked the development of the field of Web-based Simulation, which is still active today. This chapter will examine how an ongoing major initiative involving the Web, the Semantic Web, may further impact Modeling and Simulation. More specifically, this chapter considers the issue of using semantics in Modeling and Simulation (M&S). The impetus for this is the large initiative to develop the next generation Web, the Semantic Web being developed by the Artificial Intelligence, Database and Information Retrieval communities. A complimentary parallel track is represented by the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach being developed by OMG and the Software Engineering Community. The goal of this initiate is for all software development to be model driven. | |||||||||||||||
