Abstract—KOCED(Korea Construction Engineering Development) is formed to provide a shared infrastructure for construction and civil engineering facilities across Korea. Users can perform remote experiments on these distributed facilities using the KOCEDgrid, which is an Internet-based grid computing system. We present technologies to support enhanced hybrid simulation on the KOCEDgrid. A new realtime controller and viewer provide a user-friendly interface to an enhanced environment for hybrid simulation, which has been built on a new version of the grid middleware and on a new hybrid modeling tool. Users can now conduct experiments more flexibly and combine more than one piece of experimental equipment. The elimination of unnecessary communication overheads has reduced simulation times.

Index Terms—Grid application, grid system, KOCEDgrid, collaboration and hybrid experiment.
