Plugins use for generating simulation params

• The described use is the most common one in plugins. However, is not the only one, there is an additional important use: jar files included in plugins directory will also be available to provide functionalities for simulation parameters generation. This is done by setting in another file called ecosim-properties the new functions named as func- followed by the name of the desired function, indicating the class performing the operation (this clas should implement the interface IAlgorithm or IStringAlgorithm).

IAlgorithm interface is as follows:

public interface IAlgorithm {
    public Number algorithm (List<Number> params);
}

Similarly, IStringAlgorithm interface:

public interface IStringAlgorithm {
    public String stringalgorithm (List<Object> params);
}

Default, apart from the primitves and operators we can use when simulating params, MeCoSim has some functions following this extensibility schema implementing IAlgorithm or IStringAlgorithm:
