Abstract
The purpose of a system is, in a certain sense, contained in the interactions between the system and its environment. The role of a simulator is to provide an artificial but controllable environment usually for testing and training purposes. For that purpose, most testing and training simulators provide the user with a scripting mechanism, i.e. a means to compose the desired environment. Afterwards the simulator interprets the script, i.e. simulates the properties and behavior of a number of simulated entities that the desired environment is composed of. This paper describes a design which, instead of hard-coding script interpretation into the simulated entities, derives the scripting capabilities from the implementation of the simulated entities.
