Simulation Standards defines the Scientific Workflow Simulation Standard (SWSS), an independent standard for scientific simulation workflows.
SWSS supports scientific integrity, reproducibility and portability through source versioning, exact arguments, isolated outputs, logs, provenance and truthful run status. Simulations remain independently executable and authoritative for their scientific behavior. Consuming applications implement the standard without defining its requirements.
SWSS v2.0 is the current specification. Its baseline protects scientific integrity. Independent optional capabilities cover coordinated run capture, progress and metrics, scientific exports, and portable configuration and parameter editing. No particular application, library or binary format is required.
The portable configuration capability uses schema 2 in one swss.toml file.
Read the SWSS v2.0 specification for requirements and validation criteria, then identify the baseline and optional capabilities relevant to your simulation or tool.
Try the scalar decay reference simulation for a small executable example and contract checks.
Original specification, documentation and embedded examples are licensed under CC BY 4.0. Future standalone executable reference code is covered by MIT only when explicitly designated and marked as such. Third-party material retains its own licenses.
Development and publication are owner-directed. Public readability does not imply open contribution intake.
