In this page, you find DEVSJAVAWS, a web-enabled DEVSJAVA simulation environment. For some details of this work, see DEVSJAVAWS Poster which was presented at the Community of Undergraduate Research Scholars poster session in April 2006, at Arizona State University.
The SimpleWebStart version is recommended for new (or less experienced) users who simply want to see some of the capabilities of DEVSJAVA. It is prepackaged with some example models and requires no configuration or separate downloading.
The advanced version requires acceptance of the security certificate because it accesses the hard disk to allow the user to load their own models; this requires the use of the configure button to specify the path to the folder containing the models (see the Help button for further details). The advanced version also has support for adding metadata to the models in the form of XML files which are stored in the same directory as the class files. The user is abstracted away from the implementation of the XML files and is instead provided a simple to use swing based GUI for defining the appropriate metadata and viewing information about the structure of the model (automatically parsed from the model).
Update: First, the advanced version allows users to load models which are stored locally on their machine, this version also includes the ability to store your configuration by use of a configuration file, currently this saves onto the default location (probably your desktop). The help files for each version have also been updated to include a section specific to that version of SimView (towards the bottom of the help file). Also note that if you click the help button and a model is loaded that has a model description, that description will be displayed rather than the help file. Each version now supports some level of metadata specification for the simulation models.The JavaWebStart applications require installation of JRE version 1.4 or newer.
