Abstract
Web services provide a flexible way to compose simulation results with real-world data streams. Yet, web services for simulation engines are seldom offered due to the initial effort required to implement a web service API. Commercial simulation engines might provide a web application for remote invocation (such as MATLAB Mobile), but rarely open up proprietary features with a fine-grained web service API. Academia requires solving a specific problem in-depth, with little time left for cross-disciplinary integration. Ptolemy provides a web service architecture for hosting, creating, and composing web applications. Ptolemy can act as a wrapper for existing desktop applications, invoking the application with a web request and returning the results as a web response. The Ptolemy actor library can also be used to create completely new web applications. Applications can leverage valuable research contributions, including timed models of computation and ontology analysis. This web service architecture opens up exciting avenues of research. In particular, Ptolemy offers an opportunity to integrate live and simulated results in real-time. Two examples are presented. The first is a building HVAC system, based on the Lawrence Berkeley Labs Building Controls Virtual Testbed HVAC example, using Sensor Andrew and EnergyPlus. The second is a controller synthesis application built on the TuLiP temporal logic planning toolbox.
