oday the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) are on the cusp of a paradigm shift. Up to now most actions in the WWW are sorts of human–computer interaction, but the introduction of the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) changed the perception. The Internet will be seen as a great space of information and with the use of XML and following technologies like Web Services, Grid Computing and Semantic Web the difference between human–machine interaction and machine–machine interaction vanishes. This work investigates the usefulness of XML in the simulation domain and uses Web Service technology to build the SimASP framework for discrete event simulation (DES).

Not only outstanding persons in the field of computer science underrated the upcoming importance and possibilities of computers and computer networks—e.g. Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM in 1943 thought that “… there is a world market for maybe five computers”. In the early nineties of the last century, computer networks and in particular the Internet was well established. But scarcely anybody had knowledge of Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web (WWW) or foresaw the importance of the WWW. Today the Internet and the WWW are on the cusp of a paradigm shift. Up to now most actions in the WWW are sorts of human–computer interaction, but the introduction of the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) changed the perception. The Internet will be seen as a great space of information and with the use of XML and following technologies like Web Services, Grid Computing and Semantic Web the difference between human–machine interaction and machine–machine interaction vanishes. Meanwhile the simulation domain noticed an emerging demand and development of web-based simulation. The combination of the simulation with the Internet and more precisely with Web technology gives hope to the overcoming of some limitations due to deficiencies of existing multidomain simulation software the simulation community stated during the past few years [10], [13], [15], [16] and [17]:

The SimASP framework, an environment that provides the provision of simulation services using Web Service technology was presented and uses Web Service technology to build the SimASP framework for discrete event simulation. This work showed not only the utility of XML in the simulation domain but demonstrated that the use of XML can increase the benefit of DES.
