Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented modeling-and-simulation coordination module for coordinating components by exchanging and sequencing instructions from an operator, said coordination module comprising: a scenario file generator for creating a blank scenario file; a plug-in loader for loading an available plurality of plug-in modules; a graphical user interface (GUI) loader for loading GUIs into corresponding containers; a module classifier for setting a classification to a highest rank plug-in module of said plurality of plug-in modules; an event detector for monitoring updating events; a response initiator for prompting the operator to select an experimental plug-in module from said plurality of plug-in modules; a simulation processor for executing a simulation in response to the operator loading a scenario, setting experimental parameters, and selecting a simulator plug-in module and a model plug-in module from said plurality of plug-in modules; a model request processor for providing parameters from said experimental frame to said model plug-in module; an instance receiver for receiving model instances from said model plug-in module; a simulation processor for instructing said simulator plug-in module to execute instructions until satisfaction of terminal conditions and in response to initiation by said experimental plug-in module; and an output provider for disseminating display information based on time controls based on updating events.
