Abstract
A problem-solving environment called WISE uses object oriented software design to link research models from various subdisciplines for more comprehensive ecosystem simulation and visualization. A simulation manager component uses a clock to control the coupling mechanism, allowing dynamic querying between encapsulated models for the most recent values of state variables.
