Domain ontology driven composable simulation framework

The simulation composability is one of important development directions in simulation domain.The key issue is the semantic composability.Currently there is no feasible approach to realize the effective semantic representation and composition of simulation components.Based on domain knowledge and Web Ontology Language (OWL),this paper proposes a composable simulation framework,which includes conceptual model semantics,model components semantics,model framework semantics,and simulation scenario semantics.Additionally,all the semantics are utilized in the model components development process,the simulation system development process,and the simulation system execution process respectively.The consistency checking among those semantics is also proposed.The detailed mapping processes between different semantic models can help to build the domain ontology driven composable simulation system.
