[AISWorld] New website *Simulation for Education*

[Gerd Wagner]

Simulation for Education (*Sim4edu.com*) is a new project website that 
supports web-based simulation with open source technologies for science 
and education at http://sim4edu.com

Sim4edu provides both simulation *technologies* and an educational 
simulation *example library*. Its goal is to support various styles of 
modeling and simulation, including discrete event simulation, 
agent-based simulation, Cellular Automata models and NetLogo-style grid 
space models.

As opposed to traditional simulation technologies, web-based 
simulations, typically implemented with JavaScript, can be executed in 
any web browser, not just on desktop computers, but also on mobile 
devices like tablets and smartphones. This allows sharing simulations by 
means of simple web links and makes them easily accessible to anyone 
anywhere.

Anyone who is working towards the same goal of supporting web-based 
simulation for open science and education is welcome to join our Sim4edu 
project (contact me at G.Wagner at b-tu.de).
