1 Scope This document specifies a reference model and process for Collaborative Modeling and Simulation Environment (CMSE), which establishes a general framework of CMSE to provide guidance for implementation of joint simulation projects. The CMSE which is based on the reference process and the reference model including neutral interfaces and meta-models can enable service-oriented share-use of the infrastructure, integration of the software and collaboration of the business to improve collaboration among all kinds of stakeholders involved in a joint simulation project which needs on-demand simulation at any time and any place upon different manufacturing platforms owned by different enterprises or by different departments within an enterprise. This document can not only be applied to manufacturing enterprises but also be applied to other kinds of enterprises. It is intended for use by stakeholders who are concerned with developing and deploying solutions of the joint simulation project based on information and communication technology. It focuses on simulation activities related cross-platform simulation collaboration capability supporting business planning and logistics, manufacturing operations management and production control within or among enterprises, which can cover the levels from 2 to 4 of the functional hierarchy of manufacturing systems in [ 27 ] . This document specifies the following:
