The use of crop simulation models can help in decision making, allowing the definition of the best field management practices. The DSSAT platform contains a set of applications that are in the end of life support and are available in the Windows environment only. The DSSAT applications performs common operations, such as reading files and integrating with DSSAT-CSM, however each application has its own way of integration, which makes the maintenance and evolution of these tools an arduous task. Thus, the objectives of this work is to create a integration standard with DSSAT-CSM that can facilitate the creation of a multiplatform application for Windows, Linux and MacOS with the objective of executing simulation models. As a result of this work, we obtained a JavaScript module designed to facilitate the integration with DSSAT-CSM in different platforms providing a modern software development style; DSSAT-Lite a tool to perform DSSAT simulations over the HTTP protocol, which provides the ability to perform and view simulations through the web; DSSAT-Shell, a cross-platform tool that enables the DSSAT simulation models. This way, the set of standars and applications developed becomes relevant to other developers and members of the DSSAT community to help them on the DSSAT-CSM integration as well as developingnew DSSAT tools.", publisher = {Universidade de Passo Fundo}, scholl = {Programa de Pós-Graduação em Computação Aplicada}, note = {Instituto de Ciências Exatas e Geociências – ICEG} }
