Simulation Platform

AKA: Simulation Environment, Simulation Software.
Context:
- It can be used across multiple fields including information technology, traffic and transportation, ecological modelling, aerospace, and energy systems.
- It can be used to develop and test algorithms, strategies, and models before implementation in real systems.
- ...
Example(s):
- Simics, a full system simulation platform used to simulate entire systems (Magnusson et al., 2002).
- iTETRIS, a modular simulation platform for large scale evaluation of cooperative ITS applications (Rondinone et al., 2013).
- ESPSS Simulation Platform, setting up a common European platform for propulsion system simulation (Moral et al., 2010).
- MDCSim, a multi-tier data center simulation platform (Lim et al., 2009).
- QU-GENE, a simulation platform for quantitative analysis of genetic models (Podlich & Cooper, 1998).
- Design of a New Cloud Computing Simulation Platform, for modeling and simulating large computing systems (Nunez et al., 2011).
- MASGriP, a multi-agent smart grid simulation platform (Oliveira et al., 2012).
- ...
Counter-Example(s):
- Non-simulated, real-world systems.
