Web services have been used in Modeling and Simulation M&S for many years, but it is still hard to develop complex M&S applications by using heterogeneous data and varied services. Here we show how to simplify the M&S application development by using mashup technologies. We introduce a novel architecture, the Mashup Architecture with Modeling and Simulation as a Service MAMSaaS, in order to deploy varied mashup components e.g. Modeling and Simulation as a Service, existing Web APIs, widgets and operators and to create M&S mashups for quick application development. We present various tools built to support the architecture and a case study using the mashup architecture.
