Abstract: Nowadays the decision making becomes very difficult and risky process due to complexity of the sociotechnical systems, which are information capacious. Due to the reasons mentioned above topical are the requirements for situations forecasting before the decision making. For solving the problems mentioned above the varied simulation tools and environments are used. Unfortunately some serious problems still exist related with standards compatibility, formats harmonization, concepts consistency and access. Today does not possible to design highly functional distributed simulation models without the specific knowledge in programming, therefore common access to the models created before in different industries and environments are still limited for IT non-professionals. The aim of the report is to clarify the situation and to offer some ways how to solve the problems related with distributed simulation access.
