Abstract: A method for managing a computer simulation is disclosed. The method includes providing an interface for soliciting input of initialization parameters for generating a training exercise and receiving from the interface initialization parameters entered by a user. The method further includes executing the training exercise defined by the initialization parameters and providing a second interface for soliciting input of execution parameters for managing execution of the training exercise. The method further includes receiving from the second interface execution parameters entered by a user and modifying execution of the training exercise as defined by the execution parameters. The method further includes storing performance data associated with performance of participants during execution of the training exercise and providing a third interface that provides a summary of the performance data.
