Web-based performance visualization of distributed discrete event simulation

This paper reports on an effort to adapt an existing distributed simulation visualization system to become Web accessible. The system was originally developed for performance visualization and experimentation with parameters affecting PDES systems using the time Warp protocols. This paper presents a model for converting legacy PDES systems to be Web accessible, and discusses the initial results from the conversion effort on this specific application. After finishing this work, we will be able to collect a wealth of data through the Web for future data mining, and to create an intelligent agent for performance tuning of time Warp applications.
