Microsimulations

In a way, it is was first used as opposed to "cosmological simulations" (macrosimulations). In fact, we tend to use that word to include any theoretical model that is simple enough so that it does not need a complex schema as that of SimDB/SimDAP to be incorporated in the VO framework.

In other words, we want to define a simple protocol so that theoretical models can be included in the VO. Those models that can be implemented with this simple protocol are, in that sense, "microsimulations".

TSAP (SSAP theory use case)

• SSAP protocol
• TSAP: how to use it (SVO web page)
• TSAP interface (an interface to check a TSAP service, check if it works as expected or retrieve data from it)

• Web access to SVO theoretical spectra model services

S3 (Simple Self-described Service protocol)

S3 follows the same dialogue philosophy already present in TSAP but allowing more flexible implementations not only for theoretical spectra but also for other kind of theoretical data.

more information:

• S3 protocol (IVOA note)
• S3 interface (an interface to check a S3 service, check if it works as expected or retrieve data from it)
• S3 wizard: an application with a web interface designed so that it is easy to implement a S3 service without programming.
