To illustrate the effectiveness of this approach we have developed a demonstrator that provides users with a comprehensive and transparent environment for accessing the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) , an application developed by NIST. Facebook was used as a social networking platform to provide access to FDS. Users are able to upload and edit input files, submit and resubmit simulations, visualize results, share and discuss results with other users, etc., all in a single integrated environment. Virtual machine technology was used to develop a cloud computing infrastructure to host the simulations and visualizations. The infrastructure is able to dynamically adapt and scale according to demand.
Below is a video of the demonstrator including some introductory slides. A version of the video in much larger resolution is available here.
