Abstract
A method includes providing a plurality of component modules in a spreadsheet environment. Each component module is capable of modeling a portion of an event and includes at least one process. Each component module can be accessed independent of the other component modules, and at least one component module includes at least one input and at least one component module includes at least one output. The inputs and the outputs can be linked to thereby model the event. Thereafter, the processes of the component modules can be performed to simulate the event.
