The primary objective of this research is to develop a network-centric simulation
modeling framework that can be used to build simulation models through the use of
Internet-based resources. An object-oriented programming approach was used to build a
Java-based modeling framework focused on modeling a semiconductor fabrication
system.
This research is an initial step in what may be a new network-centric simulation
modeling methodology, where simulation models are created using software objects that
are physically located in many different sites across the Internet. Once the ability to
create and run a relatively simple model using a network-centric approach has been
established, future research may lead to a simulation environment that not only lets a user
interactively build models but also allows concurrent model development between a
group of users, independent of their location, operating system, or computer architecture.
The prototype system implemented as a portion of this research is performed in
the Java object-oriented programming language. A target system model is presented as
an example of how the environment can be used to apply the network-centric simulation
modeling methodology. / Graduation date: 1998
