Simtk.org has become a hub for the dissemination of tools related to physics-based simulation in biomedical research, with more than 380 projects and 8000 users. Our future plans are driven by this rapid growth in the number of users of simtk.org, and the feedback we receive from them. Over the next four years, we will build the capabilities of simtk.org to create a sustainable model for support for its many users. Our plan for improved support is based on social networking for peer-support and virtual machines for replication of research results. The rapid expansion of social networks, such as Facebook, is an important development since the NCBC program began in 2004. Some of our software applications have a critical mass of users who want to interact and support one another. Thus, we plan to implement tools based on social networking paradigms to enable peer support. The development of virtual machines provides an opportunity for users of simtk.org to reproduce the results of others. Virtual machines provide a mechanism for an operating system, executable codes, and data sets to be pre-loaded into a binary format that represents an "image" of a fully functional machine. Our pilot studies have demonstrated the ability to deliver binaries, documentation, models and full simulation trajectories. Thus, going forward, we will improve the ability of simulation scientists to share their work in full detail.

Simtk.org已成为传播与生物医学研究中基于物理的模拟工具的枢纽，拥有380多个项目和8000个用户。我们的未来计划是由Simtk.org的用户数量快速增长以及我们从他们那里收到的反馈所驱动的。在接下来的四年中，我们将建立Simtk.org的功能，以创建一个为其许多用户提供支持的可持续模型。我们改善支持的计划是基于与同伴支持和虚拟机的社交网络，用于复制研究结果。自NCBC计划始于2004年以来，社交网络的快速扩展（例如Facebook）是一个重要的发展。我们的一些软件应用程序具有大量的用户，他们希望互动和支持彼此。因此，我们计划基于社交网络范式实施工具，以实现同伴支持。虚拟机的开发为Simtk.org的用户提供了重现其他人结果的机会。虚拟机为操作系统，可执行代码和数据集提供了一种机制，该机制可预先加载到代表功能齐全的机器的“图像”的二进制格式中。我们的试点研究表明能够提供二进制文件，文档，模型 和完整的模拟轨迹。因此，展望未来，我们将提高模拟科学家的详细分享作品的能力。
