This paper described the philosophy of the i-MOS (interactive Moeling and Online Simulation) platfrom which is constructed to provide easy access to all the necessary tools for developing a circuit model. Through the platform, model developers can follow a well described procedure to author their models using i-MOS provided tools. Users can also evaluate the most up-to-date models using a simulation engine provided by i-MOS without downloading and compiling. To facilitate compact modeling related activities, a number of model specific functions including parameter extraction, statistical distribution analysis and reliability simulation are planned. The current status and the future directions of i-MOS will be described in this paper.
