Abstract. Simulation-oriented model reuse (SOMR) technology is an important way to improve the efficiency of modeling and simulation (M&S) and the cred‐ ibility of simulation results. Recently, following the rapid development of the new technologies (cloud computing, service-oriented architecture (SOA), Web-based simulation, etc.), a mass of tools and architectures on SOMR technologies have been put in use, meanwhile a large number of related papers on SOMR have been published. This paper aims to describe the essence of SOMR briefly through investigating and summarizing the existing researches on SOMR. The contribu‐ tions of this paper includes: (1) introducing the concepts and evolution process of SOMR; (2) analyzing the motivation and requirements of SOMR; (3) summa‐ rizing the general process and the categories of SOMR; and (4) providing a description and comparison of SOMR technologies. Keywords: M&S · SOMR · Credibility · SOA

Introduction

M&S technology is more and more widely used on applications in various fields. With the development and utilization of a large number of simulation models, SOMR has become a major theoretical issue in the field of M&S. In the process of simulation, the complete system modeling process should include two parts: mathematical modeling and simulation modeling. Simulation modeling process is the transformation of non formal model or mathematical model into a simu‐ lation model that a computer system can identify and run, which is also called “twice modeling”. In this paper, SOMR process mainly refers to the process of “twice modeling”. As early as 1984, Zeigler and Oren et al. [1] provided some methods about the heterogeneous integration of models. Until 1986, Ron Huhn et al. [2] first explicitly proposed the issues of SOMR. It then began to be much accounted of by many © Springer Science+Business Media Singapore 2016 L. Zhang et al.
