Abstract:
1. A server in communication with clients via a distributed computing network comprising: (a) a memory storing an instruction set and data related to the simulation model; and (b) a processor for running the instruction set, the processor being in communication with the memory and the distributed computing network, wherein the processor is operative to facilitate creating a simulation model for a complex enterprise software solution by performing the following steps: wherein: the canvases include uncertainty fields associated with elements of the solutions and the canvases are related such that a modification to one uncertainty field is promulgated to the other canvases so that the non-technical audience and editors effectively communicate together; and the simulation model contains a plurality of alternate versions of simulation models for the complex enterprise software simultaneously and separately so that the plurality of non-technical audience and editors are able to review and modify each alternate simulation version; wherein the canvases are related to form a conceptual construct of the complex enterprise software solution such that modification to one canvas is automatically promulgated to at least one other canvas within the larger conceptual construct so that all editors effectively communicate together while using the canvases.
