VSWMC-P2 objective and scope The further development of the VSWMC building on the Phase 1 prototype system and focusing on the interaction with the SSA SWE system. Efficient integration of new models and new model couplings, including a first demonstration of an end-to- end simulation capability. Further development and wider use of the coupling toolkit and the front-end GUI which will be designed to be accessible via the SWE Portal. Availability of more accessible input and output data on the system and development of integrated visualization tool modules.

VSWMC  CCMC! Combination of local and distributed models, so models can run remotely and are coupled over the internet Visualization tools will be integrated as ‘models’ that can be coupled to any other integrated model Interactive: via a ‘developer tool’ the modelers will be able to install/adjust their own model and couple it to another model in the repository Different operation mode(s), because of different kinds of ‘users’: System operator(s): need operator interface, statistics (use, demand, waiting times, I/O, etc.), alarms (when model did not run, communication failed, etc.), … Model contributors: need developer tool to provide (updates of) their own models, integrating them into the system and coupling them to other models Different ‘end users’: e.g. Forecasters: running pre-installed simulations on a regular basis and integrated in the operational procedures scientists/researchers using the models and couplings for setting up and performing individual simulations runs In fact, there are 10 different kinds of users identified in the CRD, each with their own ‘user story’

VSWMC-P2 overview Users interface via a web portal (in SSA SWE system) Developer environment with 4 service components Core system also contains data archive and user management component Only the runtime system interacts with HLA bus to coordinate simulations visualizations are implemented as ‘federates’ model developer will write model-specific MCI implementation Computational models/solvers and data streams will be treated uniformly through the same Abstract MCI.

Run-time system (RTS) Prepares models for execution and manages data exchange between models Is capable of executing parameterized simulation (or federation) runs. As a simulation is interpreted, different models are retrieved from the Model Repository.

Summary The VSWMC-2 models are installed, we are now coupling them to each other and developing the GUI VSWMC-2 will soon be integrated in SSA SWE system, contain new models and new model couplings, including a first demonstration of an end-to-end simulation capability, a developed coupling toolkit, a front-end GUI (accessible via the SWE Portal), and an integrated visualization tool Will contain a Developer Environment (DE) (which will not be imposed on a Model Developer seeking compatibility with the VSWMC: it will be possible to deploy a Model without using the DE)
