Abstract
The INTO-CPS Application is a common interface used to access and manipulate different model-based artefacts produced by the INTO-CPS tool chain during the development of a cyber-physical system. The application was developed during the INTO-CPS project. It uses web-technologies on top of the Electron platform, and it requires local installation and configuration on each user local machine. In this paper, we present a cloud-based version of the INTO-CPS Application which was developed while researching the potential of cloud technologies to support the INTO-CPS tool chain environment. The proposed application has the advantage that no configuration or installation on a local machine is needed. It makes full usage of the cloud resource management, and its architecture allows for a local machine version, keeping the current local approach option open.

Note that currently none of the modelling and simulation tools have been migrated, but it is envisaged the HUBCAP project (see http://hubcap.au.dk) will establish a collaboration platform in the cloud where this could be possible.
