Abstract: Simulation visualisation is an effective way of understanding and communicating complex systems and processes. Among other advantages, it increases model transparency and intelligibility for all categories of users including non-experts, and it can be used by modellers as a tool to debug models in development. However, simulation visualisation is often tightly coupled to specific simulators, and, therefore, there is no way to reuse visualisation tools efficiently. Here, we present a specification that can be used to decouple visualisation engines from simulators. The specification also considers storage optimisation to support web-based simulation applications. We also present an implementation that supports the web-based representation and animation of outputs issued from simulators based on the discrete event system specification (DEVS) and Petri Nets.
