Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe a new concept of a computer system devoted to simulations of electromagnetic fields inside the human body. The main idea is based on application of the cloud computing approach to the electromagnetic simulator for inexperienced operators.
Design/methodology/approach – Modular design of the system is based on web technologies. The logic of simulation processes is stored in the form of scenarios consisting of several simple steps.
Findings – The authors found that a system based on a predefined, precise scenario will help an inexperienced user to solve realistic EMF simulations using state‐of‐the‐art technology. Highly modular application could be easily extended to the new functionality provided by independent programs (Processors) utilizing any type of a dedicated hardware platform.
Practical implications – The remote computing is known by computer science for its early beginning, but extraordinary growth of the internet network is renewing this term for the whole societies. Nowadays all kinds of applications are moving out of the desktop computers. The concept presented in this paper extends this new approach into realistic EMF simulation software.
Social implications – The authors have designed a system which is extremely easy to use and thus accessible to everyone. It means that the user front‐end should have low computer hardware requirements and it could be operated by an untrained person. It is assumed that it will be fully usable, even by the first‐time, incidental user.
Originality/value – The presented project is one of the very few examples of utilization of the web‐technologies for numerical simulations. The unusual user interface based on the sequence of predefined steps makes the system appropriate for a wide audience.
