Abstract

Simulation can benefit from cloud computing that often comes with thousands of processors and its software is structured as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) with its Multi-Tenancy Architecture (MTA). To support multiple tenants, simulation SaaS models need be modeled and customized to fulfill the various functional and quality requirements of individual tenants. The multitude options of tenant-specific data have made the simulation models and execution processes rather complicated. This paper presents P4-SimSaaS that comes with an new ontology system and an innovative tenant related policy specification for Simulation SaaS. P4-SimSaaS can reduce the complexity in the MTA simulation models and consequently increase the flexibility in MTA simulation execution environment. A case study is offered to demonstrate the entire framework.
