Scientific visualization and simulation specification and monitoring are sometimes addressed by object-oriented environments. Even though object orientation powerfully and elegantly models many application domains, integration of 00 libraries in such systems remains a difficult task. The and simplicity of object orientation is often lost in the integration phase, so combining 00 and dataflow concepts is llsnally limited. \Ve propose a system for visualization and simulation with a generic object-oriented way to simulation design, control and interactivity, which merges 00 and dataflow modelling in a single abstraction. Advantages of the proposed system over similar tools areion. Advantages of the proposed system over similar tools are presented and illustrated by a comprehensive set of examples.
