Modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques can be used to improve cooperation among participants by clarifying the various design aspects of a devised system. Whenever an M&S system with specific functions is required, redesigning it from scratch is time and resource intensive. Thus, an approach to reuse or reconfigure existing systems with functions similar to the required ones is a potential alternative to overcome such problems. This paper proposes a method to build composite systems providing specific M&S functions through the web. The method proposed herein offers an integrated process that includes web-based reuse of existing systems, analysis of the requirements of a composite system, derivation of the logical execution order of element systems, and interconnection of the input–output interfaces between linked constituent systems. This approach provides the required tools by dynamically reconfiguring the element systems at the requested locations. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed procedure can provide automatic generation of the required M&S system (e.g., missile-interception simulation system) and deliver the system to the target location of the cooperative work through the web.

通过阐明已设计系统的各个设计方面，可以使用建模和仿真（M＆S）技术来改善参与者之间的合作。每当需要具有特定功能的M＆S系统时，从头开始对其进行重新设计都会占用大量时间和资源。因此，以类似于所需功能的功能重用或重新配置现有系统的方法是克服此类问题的潜在替代方法。本文提出了一种通过网络构建提供特定M＆S功能的复合系统的方法。本文提出的方法提供了一个集成过程，包括对现有系统进行基于Web的重用，对复合系统的需求进行分析，推导元素系统的逻辑执行顺序以及链接组成系统之间的输入输出接口的互连。这种方法通过在请求的位置动态重新配置元素系统来提供所需的工具。实验结果表明，所提出的程序可以自动生成所需的M＆S系统（例如，导弹拦截模拟系统），并将该系统通过网络传递到合作工作的目标位置。
