Interactive Distributed Simulation Realised as a Web Application

Abstract

This paper is focus on a practical use of a web browser and its modern technologies for realisation of distributed web-based simulations. A web application is realised in the environment of a web browser, providing basic software support and additional services for a user-friendly, simple to realise (above all simply programmable) interactive, distributed, discrete simulation. The user is freed from having to deal with the process of creating a simulation core, synchronisation methods etc., and can fully concentrate on the logic of the solved problem. The paper also describes the realisation of the simulation in a web browser, the appropriate classification and extent of applications which are suitable for this service, as well as the positives and negatives of a web-based simulation realisation.
