With a heavy emphasis on distribution and reuse, web-based simulation portends a dramatic shift in the application of simulation as a problem-solving technique and decision-support tool. Next-generation simulation systems of all kinds should be evaluated and constructed with an appreciation of the potential paradigm shift that web-based simulation represents. Fiscal constraints indicate that next-generation computer generated forces (CGF) models will be used to support a wide range of missions, unifying—and replacing—a variety of CGF systems currently in existence. We describe the evolution of web-based simulation and derive a collection of modeling principles that characterize our vision of the web-based simulation future. We examine these principles in terms of their implications for next-generation CGF systems.
