New Advances of the Research on Cloud Simulation

Abstract

Based on the research fruits of Cloud Simulation Platform [1], this paper expounds the latest research results of our team in cloud simulation, including the further research on the technology content and features of cloud simulation, architecture and service patterns of the cloud simulation system, technology system and several improved key technologies (individuation virtual desktop technology, multi-users oriented dynamic building technology of virtual simulation environment, fault-tolerant migration technology for simulation resources, high performance cloud simulation supported co-simulation platform technology) of cloud simulation and typical application demonstration system. The primary research and practice show that the proposed latest research results can better support "cloud simulation" pattern, which users can access services of simulation resource and capability on demand anytime and anywhere through network and cloud simulation platform, to accomplish varied activities in the whole simulation life-circle. Finally, this paper gives the prospect of the future work of cloud simulation.
